Editing Segments in the Timeline Using Segment Mode
Segment Mode (Lift/Overwrite): Represented by a red arrow, repositions
a segment in the Timeline, leaving black filler or silence at the original loca-
tion, and places the shot at the new location.
Extracting and Splicing In Segments
Yo u c an u se th e E xt r ac t /Sp li ce - in f ea tur e o f S egm en t m ode to mo ve a
selected segment forward or backward in the sequence, usually changing
places with another segment. You can also use it to move segments verti-
cally through tracks.
The Extract/Splice-in function extracts a segment, closes the gap, and
splices in the segment at its new position. The total duration of the
sequence does not change when you use Extract/Splice-in segment editing.
To prepare to use the Extract/ Splice-in
feature, do one of the following:

Click the yellow Extract/Splice-in Segment Mode button to highlight
it. Then click the segment you want to edit. Shift+click additional
segments if necessary. If you select multiple segments, they must
be contiguous on a single track, but they need not be contiguous
between tracks.

Click the yellow Extract/Splice-in Segment Mode button, and lasso the
area (one or multiple segments) you want to reposition by drawing a
lasso from left to right around the entire segment. Press and hold Shift
while lassoing additional segments if you choose. Again, they must be
contiguous on a single track, but they do not have to be contiguous
between tracks.
Lasso completely
around the segments
that you want to select
CAUTION Although
these buttons look
similar to the Splice and
Overwrite buttons, do not
mistake them for Splice
and Overwrite.
NOTE Yo u n e ed t o
start your lasso in the
gray area outside of the
Timeline and encom-
pass all of the desired
segments.
