Setting Region Start and End Points to the Playhead Position
You can move the start or end point of a selected region to the current playhead
position with the following key commands:
 Set Region/Event Start to Playhead Position
 Set Region/Event End to Playhead Position
Note: The anchor point is also moved when using Set Region/Event Start to Playhead
Position on an audio region.
Adjusting Region Lengths to Fit Other Regions
On occasion, you may want to reduce or extend the length of all regions on a track, or
between locators, ensuring that they directly adjoin each other without gaps.
To reduce the length of overlapping regions on a track:
1 Select the overlapping regions on a track, or select all regions on a track by clicking the
track name in the track list.
2 Choose Region > Remove Overlaps (or use the Remove Overlaps key command).
This function searches all selected regions in a track for overlaps. If an overlap is found,
the earlier (in time) region is reduced in length, thus removing the overlap.
You can “tie” selected region(s), making them end exactly at the start point of the next
region on the track.
To tie regions (removing gaps between regions):
1 Select the regions you want to tie.
2 Choose Region > Tie Regions by Length Change (or use the corresponding key
command).
The selected regions are increased in length, making them end exactly at the start
point of the next region on the track.
You can limit the length change to all selected regions within the locator boundaries.
