cutting audio -mp3- files in cool edit pro

hi

I am a newbie to this software. I was editing a video file and wanted an audio clip from an existing recording of mine. I needed a clip of just 30 seconds and trimmed a 2 minute long mp3 file in cool edit pro and the file size reduced suitably. But windows continues to show the file as 2 minutes long even though it plays only for 30 seconds.

When I place this clip in the time line in my video project, it occupies all of 2 minutes. I am unable to understand what to do. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

If you trim the 2min audio file in the wave editor instead of the sequencer, you should be able to save the trimmed version as a separate file. Then just add the new 30sec file as a new track in the sequencer.
