Chapter 15: Working with Regions and Selections 187
Defining the Nudge Value
The Nudge value determines how far re-
gions and selections are moved when
nudging.
Start and end points for selections can also
be moved by the Nudge value (see “Nudg-
ing Selection Start/End Points” on
page 165). In addition, regions can be
trimmed by the Nudge value (see “Trim-
ming with Nudge” on page 182).
To set the Nudge value:
1 From the Display menu, select the Time
Scale you will use for the Nudge value.
– or –
To keep the Main Time Scale and use a dif-
ferent time format for the Nudge value, de-
select Follow Main Timebase in the Nudge
pop-up in the upper right of the Edit win-
dow.
2 From the Nudge pop-up menu in the up-
per right of the Edit window, select the
Nudge value.
To specify a Nudge value not listed in the
Nudge pop-up, click in the Nudge field and
type in the value.
To nudge a selection or region:
1 Configure the Nudge value as desired. For
details, see “Defining the Nudge Value” on
page 187.
2 Using either the Selector or Grabber, se-
lect the track material to be nudged. The se-
lected material can even reside on multiple
tracks.
3 On the numeric keypad, press Plus (+) to
move the selection forward by the Nudge
value.
– or –
Press Minus (-) to move the selection back
by the Nudge Value.
The Nudge command works the same re-
gardless of the Edit mode. Adjacent regions
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 by Next Nudge Value (TDM
Systems Only)
In addition to nudging by the current
Nudge Value, you can also nudge by the
next value in the Nudge pop-up.
For example, if the Nudge Value is set to
1 frame and you want to nudge by a larger
valuer, you can nudge by the next Nudge
Value of 10 frames.
To nudge forward or back by the next Nudge
Value:
1 Enable the Key Commands Focus by
clicking the a-z button in the upper left of
the Edit window.
2 With the Selector or Grabber, select the
regions or notes you want to nudge.
