3 Move the playhead so that it intersects the clip you want to cut or copy at the frame you
want to define, either the end of the head or the beginning of the tail. If the playhead
intersects a clip on a selected track, that clip should automatically become selected.
You should note that even if you use the mouse to select a clip without selecting a track
first, you should still move the playhead to intersect the clip you’re copying or pasting,
as this sets up an important reference point for the operation.
4 Choose Edit > Cut/Copy Head/Tail to cut or copy the portion of the selected clip you
want to paste. That portion of the clip will immediately become highlighted.
5 At this point, there are two things you can do to position the cut or copied head or tail
of the clip to the position in the Timeline at which you want to paste it:
a a ghost clip with waveform that’s “attached” to the playhead at the frame you chose.
Whether you drag the playhead with your mouse or use JKL to move the playhead
through the Timeline, the cut or copied clip will move along with it so that moving
the playhead repositions the cut or copied clip on that track.
b If you want to move the cut or copied clip to another track, use the Control-Option-
Up or Down Arrow key shortcuts to change the selected track; the ghost clip will
move along with change in track selection.
This way, you can use the playhead to align the ghost waveform with other audio clips
surrounding it in preparation for pasting it.
6 When the clip is positioned where you want it, press Command-V to paste the clip at
the position you’ve chosen (you can also right-click a track and choose Paste from the
contextual menu). The clip becomes solid, and you’re finished.
Paste and Remove Attributes
The Fairlight page has Paste Attributes and Remove Attributes commands that allow for the
copying and resetting of audio parameters and effects, similar to the same commands on the
Edit page.
Copying and Pasting Clip Attributes
For clips, this works as simply as copying a clip, then selecting one or more audio clips and
right-clicking another clip and choosing Paste Attributes from the contextual menu. A dialog
appears letting you choose which audio attributes you want to paste before clicking Apply.
