Timeline Editing
Patching Tracks
Patching tracks enables you to edit a particular source track onto a differ-
ent record track in the sequence.
To patch a track from a source clip to a
different track do one of the following:

Click the source track, and drag the arrow to the record track on which
you want to make the edit.
The source track you selected jumps next to the record track and is
highlighted.
Patch A1 to A3 and A2 to A4

a menu appears. Then, select the record track selector to which you
want to patch it.
Editing Segments in the Timeline
Using Segment Mode
After you’ve edited clips in the Timeline, you will often want to move them
around to switch shot locations entirely or to simply nudge them one
way or another. Fortunately, Media Composer makes this easy with the
Segment Mode commands in the Smart Tool. (You were already exposed
to the ways in which the Segment Mode buttons can help you add material
to the Timeline, but here, we’ll discuss how to use Segment mode to rear-
range material in the Timeline.)
Segment Mode (Extract Splice/In): Represented by a yellow arrow, rear-
ranges the order of segments within the Timeline.
NOTE To ma in ta i n
proper stereo panning
with mono tracks, you
should always patch
odd-numbered source
tracks to odd-numbered
record tracks and patch
even-numbered source
tracks to even-numbered
record tracks.
