The Timeline indicates how much time each item takes up over the course of the whole movie. Notice that this audio file takes up a much bigger space on the Timeline than the pictures. Scroll across the Timeline window to see the end of the audio clip.

In this example, the music ends at approximately 4:23 minutes, which is much longer than we need.
