Working with Segments

702

If you used the Lift/Overwrite method, the system lifts the selected segment from its old

position, leaving black filler, and then overwrites the material onto the sequence at the newly

selected location.

If the segment contains transition effects, and you move or extract the segment, the transition

effect remains. For information about how the system preserves transition effects, see

“Transition Effect Preservation” in the Help.

To cancel a segment move, do one of the following:

t If you have not dropped the selected segment at a new location, drag the selection out of the

Timeline window and release the mouse button.

t If you have dropped the selected segment at a new location, select Edit > Undo.

Dragging Nonadjacent Segments

You can drag nonadjacent segments in the Timeline. You must be in Overwrite mode to drag the

segments.

To drag nonadjacent segments:

1. Make sure you are in Lift/Overwrite mode by selecting the Lift/Overwrite button in the

Smart Tool.

2. Select the nonadjacent segments that you want to move.

3. Move the segments to the desired location.

Deleting Segments

You can use the segment tools in the Timeline palette to delete whole segments in the Timeline

quickly without having to mark In and Out points. You can also select multiple segments in

separate tracks anywhere along the Timeline to delete them all at once.
