Trim Clip
This command provides several options for ed-
iting clip boundaries (including looped clips).
To Selection This command removes data be-
fore and after a clip or MIDI note selection, leav-
ing only the selection. This command lets you
quickly remove all data in a clip (and in some in-
stances the entire track) except for the current
selection.
When trimming clips that include fades or are
adjacent to fade boundaries, the fades from the
source clip are adjusted to the new clip bound-
aries.
Start to Insertion This command lets you trim a
clip or MIDI note by automatically removing the
material between the Edit insertion point and
the start point.
End to Insertion This command lets you trim a
clip or MIDI note by automatically removing the
material between the Edit insertion point and
the end point.
Start to Fill Selection This command lets you au-
tomatically reveal underlying material in the
gaps between the clip start and selection start
points.
End to Fill Selection This command lets you au-
tomatically reveal underlying material in the
gaps between the selection end and clip end
points.
To Fill Selection This command lets you auto-
matically reveal underlying material in the gaps
before and after the selection.
Separate Clip
These commands separate a clip from adjacent
data in the track where it was created. By sepa-
rating a clip, you will also create by-product
clips from data on either side of the separation.
The Separate Clip commands automatically un-
loops and flattens looped clips before separat-
ing.
Separate Clip includes the following commands:
At Selection This command creates new clip
boundaries at the selection start and end points.
When separating clips that include fades, the
status of the fade depends on the Preserve Fades
when Editing preference.
On Grid This command constrains newly cre-
ated clips to start and end on grid points.
At Transients This command automatically cre-
ates clip boundaries on detected transients
within a selection.
Heal Separation
This command repairs separated clips, provided
that the clips are contiguous and their relative
start and end points haven’t changed since they
were originally separated. You can
Heal Separa-
tion
between two clips if you have trimmed or
changed the start and end points, but not if you
have moved the clips themselves.
Consolidate
This command consolidates multiple clips into a
single clip. When audio clips are consolidated, a
a new audio file is written that encompasses the
selection range, including any blank space,
fades, or clip gain settings.
