CHP. 3 BASIC EDITING TECHNIQUES
71
Sliding an event
Press while dragging an event. The slide cursor appears ( ).
As you drag, the relative position of the media remains fixed on the track, and the event position changes.
You can use this technique when you want to maintain an event’s length, but have the event play a different
section of the source media file at a different point in your project.
Tip: You can apply a ripple edit after slip-trimming or sliding
an event. For more information, see Applying post-edit
ripples on page 72.
Deleting events
Deleting an event removes it from its track. Multiple events can be deleted and time selections can be used
to modify the process. Ripple editing also applies to delete actions. Deleting operates exactly like a cutting
operation, but the removed information is not placed on the Clipboard. For more information, see Cutting
events on page 62.
