104 Chapter 6 Working in the Timeline
To nudge an audio clip by one pixel:
m Hold down the Option key while you press the Left or Right Arrow key.
To nudge an audio clip to the next gridline:
m Hold down the Option and Shift keys while you press the Left or Right Arrow key.
When you nudge a clip by one pixel, the amount the clip moves in time depends on
the current zoom setting.
Snapping Clips to Clips on Adjacent Tracks
If snap is turned on, you can snap a clip to the edges of a clip in an adjacent track (the
track either directly above or directly below the track containing the clip). This is
especially useful when the start and end points of clips do not fall on the current
Snap To value.
To snap a clip to adjacent clips:
m Choose View > Snap To > Adjacent Tracks.
Resizing Audio Clips
You control the duration of an audio clip (the amount of time the clip plays back) by
resizing the clip. When you add a clip to the Timeline, the clip has the same duration as
the source audio file. You can shorten clips to play back only a part of the source file.
When you lengthen a clip with looping playback mode, it repeats the source file
multiple times.
To resize an audio clip:
1 Place the pointer at either the left or right edge of the audio clip.
The pointer changes to a Clip Resize pointer.
2 Click the edge of the clip and drag left or right to resize it.
When you lengthen a clip with looping playback mode, the notches at the top and
bottom of the clip indicate the end of each repetition of the source audio file.
When you resize a clip by shortening its left edge, you change the point in the source
audio file at which the clip starts playing, making the earlier part of the source audio
inaudible. When you resize a clip by shortening its right edge, the part you shorten
becomes inaudible. You cannot lengthen the left edge of a clip with non-looping
playback mode beyond the beginning of the source audio file.
Notches indicate the
points where a looping
clip repeats.
Drag the clip to the left
or right to resize it.
