Nudging by Next Nudge Value
In addition to nudging by the current Nudge value,
you can also nudge by the next larger value in the
Nudge pop-up menu.
For example, if the Nudge value is set to 1 frame
and you want to nudge by a larger value, you can
nudge by the Nudge value of 10 frames.
To nudge forward or back by the next larger Nudge
value:
1 Enable Commands Keyboard Focus (see “Key-
board Focus” on page 30).
2 Select the clips or notes you want to nudge.
3 Do one of the following:
• Press Forward Slash (/) to nudge the selected
material forward by the next Nudge value.
• Press M to nudge the selection back by the next
Nudge value.
Nudging the Contents of a Clip
Often a clip’s start point will reside at the correct
location, perhaps at a SMPTE frame or barline, but
the material within the clip starts too late or early.
You can, in effect, nudge a clip’s audio waveform
or MIDI notes without displacing the clip start and
end points.
This “sliding” of clip contents is only possible if
there is material residing outside the clip’s start
and end points—from the clip having been
trimmed, or perhaps captured from a larger clip.
To nudge the contents of a clip without changing
the clip start and end points:
1 Configure the Nudge value (see “Defining the
Nudge Value” on page 595).
2 With the Time Grabber tool, select the clip
whose contents you want to nudge.
3 While pressing the Start key (Windows) or Con-
trol (Mac), press Plus (+) or Minus (–) on the
numeric keypad to move the material by the
Nudge value.
When Commands Keyboard Focus is not
enabled, press Start+Forward Slash (/)
(Windows) or Control+Forward Slash (/)
(Mac) to nudge the selected material for-
ward by the next Nudge value, and press
Start+M (Windows) or Control+M (Mac)
to nudge the selected material back by the
next Nudge value.
