Tempo View
Open the Tempo view by using the Views-Tempo command, or by clicking
the Tempo View button in the Views toolbar.
The Tempo view shows the tempo of your project. You can use the mouse
to draw tempo changes directly onto the graph.
The Tempo view provides both a graphic display of the tempo and a list of
all tempo changes in your project. In the graphical display you can use your
mouse to draw tempo changes directly onto the graph. In the tempo list,
you can insert, edit, and delete individual tempo changes. Click the Tempo
List button to display or hide the tempo list.
If an entire project has a single tempo, the Tempo view shows a straight
horizontal line, and a single tempo in the list.
If you want audio clips to stretch with any tempo changes you introduce,
you need to enable Groove clip looping on any audio clips that you want to
follow the tempo changes. Do this by selecting one or more clips, right-
clicking a selected clip, and choosing Groove-Clip Looping from the
popup menu. Each clip that has Groove clip looping enabled has beveled
edges instead of sharp corners. The same command disables Groove clip
looping on any selected clip that has Groove clip looping enabled.
The graph has several tools you can use to add or modify tempo changes:
