Trying to delete a few minutes from a zoom video recording and cannot use the razor feature because it has a red slash over the icon.

Have Googled this issue and have not found a response that corresponds to my issue

Click on the arrow in the Tools panel. Or hit "S" - the letter tooltips appear when you hover over the tools.

Conttrol K is the command to razor without using the tool.

Congrats on finding the magic!

Thanks Stan...I did figure out the arrow eventually but it's amazing how confusing the youtube videos are - maybe because they're recorded using older versions of the software...the icons I see don't match up to what I have downloaded.

Patrina,

Please post a screenshot of what you are trying to do. (You can use a section of the video that does not matter; or just a sample from a tutorial if the material is sensitive.)

Ordinarily, the razor tool just works. But, for example, if you lock the track, it will show the red slash/not operate. It is a bit hard to imagine why it is not working for you.

That's my hypothesis also that it's locked but I cannot figure out how to unlock based on past community responses to this issue.

Does the razor tool work if you unlink the audio and video (right click on the file) Do you have track keyframes set for display on the audio track?

Have you edited the zoom recording into the timeline and then made the timeline active and then tried the razor tool?

Please tell us your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card.

I have Uploaded the zoom recording and I can view it in timeline and in project sequence so not sure what you're asking me.

I have a March 2022 lenovo thinkpad laptop using windows 11 so I think I have pretty high end capabilities and lots of ram and storage.. I would be disappointed to hear that a computer as new as mine wasn't compatible with the latest version of Adobe premiere

ok. what you need to do is pretty simple. I'd suggest you do one of the basic tutorials available on youtube or even better one of the comprehensive premiere tutorials available on linkedin learning which although it is not cheap, I think there may be a free trial...

If you've had some experience with other editing software, and you have the "show tool tips" option enabled in premiere preferences: general, you can probably figure this out thru trial and error. The undo tool is a powerful, and by it's nature computer based editing is "non-destructive" so start playing around with it.

I spent the entire day viewing YouTube tutorials on Adobe premiere both by Adobe and YouTube Experts... Nobody has come close to addressing my issue so this won't not be the resolution to my problem.
