Tempo view
Open the Tempo view by using the Views > Tempo command, or by pressing ALT+SHIFT+5.
The Tempo view shows the tempo of your project. You can use the mouse to draw tempo changes
directly onto the graph.
The Tempo view provides both a graphic display of the tempo and a list of all tempo changes in your
project. In the graphical display you can use your mouse to draw tempo changes directly onto the
graph. In the tempo list, you can insert, edit, and delete individual tempo changes. Click the Tempo
List button to display or hide the Tempo list.
If an entire project has a single tempo, the Tempo view shows a straight horizontal line, and a single
tempo in the list.
If you want audio clips to stretch with any tempo changes you introduce, you need to enable Groove
clip looping on any audio clips that you want to follow the tempo changes. Do this by selecting one or
more clips, right-clicking a selected clip, and choosing Groove Clip Looping from the pop-up menu.
Each clip that has Groove clip looping enabled has beveled edges instead of sharp corners. The
same command disables Groove clip looping on any selected clip that has Groove clip looping
enabled.
Use the global tools to add or modify tempo changes:
