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

Correct answer Patrina26510917thl6

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

Do you have any experience working with Premiere or any other computer based video editing system?  Hard to judge your level of expertise from your post.  There are several ways to remove sections from the timeline...  but without any sense of your experience, hard for me to know where to start.   Don't want to discourage you, just trying to figure out what you need to do and then we can point you to some tutorials that will help.
