Chapter 27: Editing Clips and Selections 609
Fitting an Audio Clip to an Edit
Selection
Clips can be dragged from the Clip List to fit
within an Edit selection. The dragged clip is com-
pressed or expanded to fit within the selection. On
audio tracks, fitting an audio clip to the Edit selec-
tion uses the TCE AudioSuite Plug-In selected in
the Processing preferences (
see “Processing Prefer-
ences” on page 138)
. On Elastic Audio-enabled
tracks, it uses the track’s selected Elastic Audio
plug-in (see “Elastic Audio Plug-Ins” on
page 882).
To fit an audio clip to an Edit selection:
1 With the Selector tool, make an Edit selection in
an audio track.
2 Control-Alt-drag (Windows) or Command-Op-
tion-drag (Mac) the clip from the Clip List to
the track with the selection. The start of the clip
is positioned at the selection start, and the clip is
compressed or expanded to match the length of
the selection.
Fit to Selection on Multiple
Tracks and Channels
The Fit to Selection command supports dragging
multiple clips from the Clip List to multiple tracks,
or multichannel tracks.
However, all dragged clips are compressed or ex-
panded equally by the same percentage value,
based on length of the clip last clicked before drag-
ging.
Rating Clips
You can rate different clips on a scale of 1 to 5,
where 5 is the highest (or best) and 1 is the lowest
(or worst). Clip rating is useful for identifying
which takes (clips) you like the most when com-
positing playlists. You can display or hide the clip
rating in clips to facilitate track compositing or
regular editing. You can also show or hide Playlist
lanes based on the ratings of clips in the playlist
(see “Filtering Lanes” on page 640).
To rate a clip:
1 Select the clip.
2 Do one of the following:
• Choose
Clip > Rating, and select a ranking of
1 to 5.
• Right-click the clip, choose
Rate, and select a
ranking of 1 to 5.
To display ratings in clips:
 Select View > Clip > Rating.
To hide ratings in clips:
 Deselect View > Clip > Rating.
You can rate selected clips during playback
by pressing Control+Alt+Start (Windows) or
Command+Option+Control (Mac) and then
typing the rating number (1–5) on the nu-
meric keypad.
