Moving clips
From time to time, you may need to move clips around. If you understand selection, you're half way
there already.
1. Select the section you want to move.
2. With the Free Edit tool, click the top or bottom of the selection and drag the clip to the desired
location.
The Drag and Drop Options dialog appears, which lets you specify what to do with any existing
data in the target location. You can either replace the existing data or blend the old and new data.
Splitting Clips
In some cases, you might want to split a clip. As described later in this tutorial, it can be beneficial to
have clip borders at different points on a track. You can split a clip with the Split tool .
To split a clip, do one of the following:
• To split a clip in two, click the desired position on the clip.
• To split a clip at two separate points, click the first split position and drag to the second split
position.
Note: The Split tool obeys the Snap to Grid settings. If a split does not occur exactly where
you click, disable Snap to Grid and try again.
Tip: You can also use the Free Edit tool to click the desired position on the clip, then press the S
key to split.
