System information
3. Perform one of edits listed above. In the following example, the second event is being trimmed, and
the arrow above the timeline indicates where the post-edit ripple will occur and the direction the
affected events move.
4. The contents of the timeline are rippled after the edit according to the option you choose. In the
following example, the post-edit ripple has closed the space between the second and third events.
Splitting events
From the Edit menu, choose Split to split one or more selected events at the current cursor position.
Splitting an event allows you to adjust a small part of an event or break a single event into multiple sections
that you can edit independently. For example, you may want to apply an effect to a section of an event
and then return the event to its original setting.
1. Position the cursor where you want to split the events, or select a range of time.
2. Select the events you want to split.
3. From the Edit menu, choose Split:
n If no events are selected, the events located at the current cursor position will be split
throughout all of the tracks.
n If you create a time selection, events are split at each end of the time selection throughout
all of the tracks.
n If you select events within a time selection, the selected events are split at each end of the
time selection.
n Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift while clicking an event to split it. Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift and drag an event
to split it at the point you click and trim the event in the direction you drag.
For more information, see "Adjusting an Event's Length" on page 158 and "Slipping and
Sliding Events" on page 164.
Shuffling Events
Much like ripple editing, shuffling events allows you to change the order of a sequence of events with a
single operation.
Ripple edit mode does not need to be active to shuffle events. For more information, see "Post-Edit
Ripple" on page 147.
1. Right-click and drag an event to a new location on the timeline.
In this example, we'll drag event 3 between events 1 and 2.
