Cropping clips
You can crop a clip by using a gesture called slip editing. Slip editing lets you “roll out” the beginning
or the end of a clip to different places without changing the position of the music. Imagine that the
clips are “windows” that allow you to see and hear pieces of audio or MIDI. You can change the size
of that window so that less of the data is visible. If it's not visible, it won't be heard during playback.
The data still exists, so you can enlarge the “window” by slip editing the clip. The visible data will
then be audible.
Select the Smart tool or Edit tool in the Control Bar to use slip editing.
Now, if you point to the left or right clip edge, the cursor changes and you can drag the clip edge to a
new location.
Note: The Split tool obeys the Snap to Grid settings. If a split does not occur exactly where you
click, disable Snap to Grid and try again.
Tip: You can also press the S key to split the selected clip(s) at the current Now time.
