1) If you double click on the event and make a selection out of it,
you'll only record that event's duration.

If the cursor is in front of the selection, you'll get the cursor-to-
selection-start time as a preroll, saved with your recording.

2)Sorry, we don't delete project media on close- if you do this on a
regular basis you might want to save each new project and it's own
media in a separate folder. Get rid of the folder, get rid of the
media.
