Adding takes
Multiple media files can be added to the timeline at the same time to a single event as takes. You can also add regions within media files
as takes. For more information, see Adding regions as takes on page 66.
Adding media files to the timeline as takes
1.
Locate the media files that you want to insert as takes in the Explorer or Media Pool and select them:
• Select a range by holding Shift and clicking the first and last file in the range.
• Select nonadjacent files by holding Ctrl and clicking the various clips individually.
2.
Right-click and drag one of the selected clips in the group to the timeline.
3.
From the shortcut menu, choose Add as Takes.
Adding takes to existing events
Media files can also be added to existing events as takes.
1.
Right-click a media file in the Explorer or Media Pool and drag it to an existing event.
2.
From the shortcut menu, choose Add as Takes.
Selecting takes
When you add an event with multiple takes, a single event is inserted into a track. The last clip that was selected determines the
duration of the event and is set as the active take.
1.
Right-click an event with multiple takes.
2.
From the shortcut menu, choose Take.
3.
From the submenu, choose Next Take or Previous Take or choose the name of the take from the list at the bottom of the submenu.
Alternately, click the event and press N to select the next take or Shift+N to select the previous take.
Previewing and selecting takes
CD Architect software allows you preview the takes for a given event.
1.
Select the event containing multiple takes.
2.
Right-click to display a shortcut menu and choose Take to display a submenu.
3.
Choose Choose Active... from the submenu. The Take Chooser dialog appears.
4.
Select the take that you want to preview and use the Play and Stop buttons
within the dialog.
5.
To use a take, select it and click OK. The selected take is now the active take.
Using takes to copy event attributes to a new event
You can duplicate an event and replace it with another event while retaining the
attributes (switches, envelopes, effects, etc.) of the original. Adding takes to a duplicated
event in this way is an excellent method of maintaining consistency between a number
of events in a project that may use a complex set of effects or plug-ins. First, duplicate an event by holding the Ctrl key while dragging
an event. Then, replace the original event by adding the new file as a take and then deleting the original take. This is a quick way to copy
all the attributes of an existing event to a new event.
Deleting takes
Individual takes can be deleted from an event at any time.
1.
Right-click an event with multiple takes.
