'm trying to time stretch a clip, but Audition won't let me. I select the correct tool, I get the time stretch cursor (the one with the clock) and I stretch. Visually, it looks like the waveform is being stretched, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button, the waveform snaps back to its original. If I was trying to stretch longer, it just adds silence to the end of the clip. If I was trying to compress, it just truncates the clip based on where I released the mouse. I also noticed that when I right click the track in multitrack view, the third selection, "Clip Time Stretch Properties" is grayed out.
Any ideas welcome, this is driving me up the wall!

Using the edit window, if you look on the menu under "Effects" you will see time/pitch. From there choose stretch. Check "High precision" and "Resample" Then you just need to decide on how much you want to stretch it

Thanks Mick -
I did try that (I've tried seemingly thousands of ways to timestretch). The problem seems to be the file size - I'm working with about an hour of 24/96 (altho I downsampled to 24/48 to try that) and with that file size, Audition just doesn't want to allow timestretch. If I add shorter clips in multi track view, I can timestretch those clips, just not the long ones. Which, of course, does me no good since I'm trying to synch three stereo tracks of recording. I tried turning off "undo" and maxing out the size of the temp space, but still no dice.

Mike,
The problem in your case is almost certainly that Adobe doesn't like to work with files that are over 2 gbs in size. I think you are going to have to cut the file so that Adobe will do it.
Can you approach it from the other direction and slightly time compress all of the video?
