The Audio Montage 19 – 425
Moving a clip with the audio source fixed
This is the opposite of sliding the audio: this function moves the clip in the
Montage, but the audio source remains fixed in position:
1. Position the pointer over the clip, in the mouse zone to which you have as-
signed the “Select/Move clip” function (by default the lower or bottom
clip area).
2. Press [Shift] and [Alt].
The pointer takes on the shape of a box with arrows.
3. Drag left or right to move the clip, “revealing” other sections of the “un-
derlying” audio source.
• It is also possible to assign a separate mouse zone to this function.
This is done on the Edit view : Options menu, by selecting “Move clip – source remains
fixed” for the desired zone on the Mouse zones submenu. In this case, you don’t need to
press [Shift]-[Alt] in step two above.
Splitting a clip
You can split a clip in two, using the following method:
1. Set the Montage cursor to the position at which you want to split the clip.
2. Position the pointer over the clip, in a mouse zone for which you have ac-
tivated the “Split at cursor with a double click” function (by default the top
clip area).
The cursor takes on the shape of a pair of scissors.
3. Double click.
The clip is split in two. The two clips will have the same name and settings. Envelopes and
fades (see “The volume envelope” on page 445) are converted, so that the two clips play
back as before.
