Chapter 27: Editing Clips and Selections 595
Defining the Nudge Value
The Nudge value determines how far clips and se-
lections are moved when nudging.
Start and end points for selections can also be
moved by the Nudge value (see “Nudging Selec-
tion Start/End Points” on page 571). In addition,
clips can be trimmed by the Nudge value (see
“Trimming with Nudge” on page 594).
To set the Nudge value:
1 Do one of the following:
• From the
View > Main Counter menu, select the
Time Scale for the Nudge value.
• To keep the Main Time Scale and use a different
time format for the Nudge value, deselect
Follow
Main Timebase
in the Nudge Value pop-up
menu.
2 Specify a Nudge value by doing one of the fol-
lowing:
• From the Nudge value pop-up menu in the Edit
window, select the Nudge value.
• To specify a Nudge value not listed in the Nudge
Value pop-up menu, click the Nudge Value indi-
cator and type in the value.
Nudging with Nudge
To nudge one or more clip:
1 Configure the Nudge value (see “Defining the
Nudge Value” on page 595).
2 With the Time Grabber or Selector tool, select
the clip, clips, or clip groups you want to nudge.
The clips can reside on multiple tracks. Only
clips that are completely selected are nudged.
3 Do one of the following:
• On the numeric keypad, press Plus (+) to move
the selection forward by the Nudge value.
• Press Minus (–) to move the selection back by
the Nudge value.
The
Nudge command works the same regardless of
the Edit mode. Adjacent clips are overlapped in
Shuffle mode, the Spot dialog does not appear
when in Spot mode, and shifted material does not
snap to the Grid when in Grid mode.
Nudging Clips on Multiple
Tracks and in Multichannel
Tracks
When nudging a selection of multiple clips within
a single track or across multiple tracks, that also
contains silence, any automation data residing
within the silence is also nudged.
