5# Audio Continuity
6 
7Keep sound natural across edited boundaries and balance source audio against background music according to the scene. Preserve the intended pacing, words, synchronization, and deliberate silence. Inspection can lead to no change.

9## Preserve the edit
10 
11Change audio levels and envelopes only. Keep every picture frame, cut position, clip order, source in/out range, timeline position, playback rate, gap, and total duration unchanged. Preserve audio event timing and channel layout. This applies even when a structural change would be difficult to notice.
12 
13Do not move a cut to a zero crossing, extend into source handles, introduce a J/L cut, overlap previously adjacent clips, stretch audio, or pad/trim the result to conceal a timing change. Do not generate or insert replacement sound. A crossfade is allowed only within an overlap already present in the edit, with both source mappings unchanged.

15If smoothing would weaken a wanted word, transient, or intentional pause, shorten or omit the treatment and report what remains. Audio-only processing can still affect meaning and emphasis; preserving the picture alone is not sufficient.
