• Click on the monitor image and drag & drop it into the arranger. An object
corresponding to the selected area will appear on the track.
• You can also drag your selection into the project folder and use it in your project
later by dragging it from the project folder onto the arranger. The file in the
project temp folder in this case has the same name as the original file, extended
by a running number (001, 002...).
• You can also drag a file from the Media Pool into the project folder first and then
cut it from there with the help of the source monitor. The in- and out-points
created this way will be saved directly when the segment is removed.
• You can also do the reverse by dragging objects from the Arranger into the
project temp folder. If the object should appear both in the Arranger and in the
project temp folder, just hold down the Ctrl key. All object-related settings (fades,
effects, animations) are transferred as well. You can put together different edits
of one and the same object and store them in the project temp folder for later
use.
Select and group objects
To edit or delete objects using menus, you must first select them. To do so, simply
click on the object you wish to select. Objects will change color to show that they
have been selected.
When the Shift key is pressed, multiple objects are selected. You can open up a
rectangle positioning the mouse over the object, then holding down the 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.
