mouse button and marking all objects within the rectangle (”elastic band
selection”) by left-click-dragging.
Any object can be combined with others to make up a group, to avoid the
objects being unintentionally moved out of relation to each other. Once they
are combined, clicking on one object of a group will select the entire group.
To group or ungroup objects, use the buttons in the tool bar or the
corresponding commands in the "Edit" menu.
Duplicate objects
Objects may be duplicated very easily. Click on the object to be copied with
the mouse while holding down the "Ctrl" key. This generates a copy, which
you can immediately drag to the desired position or cut separately.
Extract sound from videos
Video with sound material appears in the arranger on two tracks as two
objects (an audio object and a video object). The two objects automatically
form a group.
To edit the video and audio material separately from one another, the
objects can be separated with the Ungroup (view page 291) function in the
"Edit"
menu or button in the arranger. Now you can replace the audio or the
video track, or process each file separately. Rejoin/regroup the tracks with
the ”Export arrangement” function.
Shift objects
Hold down the mouse button to move selected objects to any tracks and
positions per drag and drop. It is recommended to place objects, that belong
together on neighboring tracks and create separate tracks for audio and
video objects. Foregrounds and backgrounds, or videos that are to be
layered should lie on two tracks stacked one above the other.
If the Shift key is pressed while moving the object selection, the object’s
horizontal time position is maintained.
Cutting objects
All objects can be split. Each object section then becomes is then split into
individual objects.
