CHP. 3 BASIC EDITING TECHNIQUES

Cutting a time selection and events
Events and portions of selected events within the time selection are reproduced and placed on the
Clipboard. Time information is also placed on the Clipboard. When cutting a combination of time selection
and event selection, post-edit ripple mode affects the position of material on all tracks or the tracks of
selected events after the cut.
Pasting events
Once information is copied to the Clipboard, you may choose a variety of ways to paste the Clipboard items.
Vegas always pastes from the cursor’s position along the timeline.
When post-edit ripple mode is enabled, Vegas pushes material down the track to make room for pasted
material. The exact behavior of the ripple depends on what is being pasted, and the type of ripple edit you
chose to perform. If one or more events are pasted, only those tracks where pasted material appears are ripple
edited.
Tip:
You can apply a ripple edit after pasting. For more
information, see Applying post-edit ripples on page 72.

Clipboard events are pasted at the cursor position on the track. Existing track events can be overlapped

selected track and to specify the space between pasted events.
