Chapter 27: Editing Clips and Selections 591
To separate a selection without affecting the
original clips:
1 With the Selector tool, make an Edit selection.
The selection can reside within a single clip,
across adjacent clips within the same track, or
across multiple tracks.
2 From the Grabber tools pop-up menu, choose
the Separation Grabber tool.
3 While pressing Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac),
drag the selection to the new location, or to an-
other track.
New clips containing the previous selection are
created and placed at the new location. The origi-
nal selection and clips remain intact.
Clip Overlap and Underlap
When a tick-based audio track has multiple clips,
an increase in tempo can cause neighboring clips to
overlap. Audio clips can be set to display a small
“dog-ear” corner to indicate overlapping clip
boundaries.
To toggle the display of overlap and underlap clip
boundaries:
 Choose View > Clip > Overlap.
Changing Clip Overlap/Underlap
After tempo changes with tick-based audio, and
other edits, clips may overlap in undesired ways.
To correct this, a clip can be brought to the front, or
sent behind neighboring clips as needed.
To change the clip overlap or underlap:
1 In the Edit window, choose the clip or clips you
want to re-order.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose
Clip > Bring to Front to make the clip
overlap the neighboring clips.
• Choose
Clip > Send to Back to make the clip
underlap the neighboring clips.
If multiple overlapping clips are selected,
Pro Tools will apply the command to each clip as
that clip relates to the neighboring clip on the right.
