Fit to Time dialog

The Process > Fit to Time command opens the Fit to Time dialog box, which you can use to

stretch or shrink a selection so that it ends at a specific time, expressed in either measure:beat:tick

(MBT) or hours:minutes:seconds:frames (SMPTE) format. This command gives you a choice of

modifying the events or modifying the underlying tempo. This is useful when you want to alter a

portion of a project to have an exact length. The start time of the selection does not change, but the

end time is altered as necessary to fit the required time interval.

Audio can be stretched or condensed up to a factor of 4 (e.g., it can be shrunk to as little as 25

percent of its original length, or expanded to as much as 400 percent of its original length).

The Fit to Time dialog box has the following fields:

Original Time Span

This field lists the beginning location of the selection (the From value), and the ending location of the

selection (the Thru value). You can toggle between MBT format and SMPTE format by clicking the

Format button.

Adjust to End at New Time

Enter a value into the New Thru field of the new location where you want the selection to end.
