To clear the list, click the Clear Trimmer History button ( ). All files in the drop-down list are removed.
To remove a single file from the list, click the Remove Current Media from Trimmer History button ( ). The media file is removed
from the drop-down list and the Trimmer window is blank.
Adding and saving regions and markers to a media file
The Trimmer allows you to add markers and regions to a media file in the same way that you add them to your project. You can also
click the Insert Marker ( ) and Insert Region ( ) buttons in the Trimmer window to add markers and regions.
Media file markers and regions are different from project markers and regions. The difference between the two is that project
markers and regions affect a project, while media file markers and regions are embedded in, and saved with, a media file.
The markers and regions you add in the Trimmer are only temporary. You must save them by clicking the Save Markers/Regions
button (
) in the Trimmer window if you want to use them again after you close the project. After the markers and regions are
added and saved to the media file, they are available when you open the media file in an audio editor program or in the Trimmer.
Automatically saving Trimmer markers and regions with media files
1. From the Options menu, choose Preferences.
2. On the General tab, select Automatically save trimmer markers and regions with media file.
Adding regions as takes
Once regions are saved with a media file, either in the Trimmer window or in another application, you can add the regions as takes
to the timeline from the Explorer window. In the Explorer window, click the arrow next to the View button and select Region View
from the drop-down list. A single media file can contain a number of separate regions. You can select these regions individually or
as groups and insert them as takes into the timeline. This is especially useful when loop-recording numerous takes to a single file.
For more information, see Using takes as alternate versions of events on page 108.
Note: You cannot save markers to read-only media files. Change a file’s properties to make the file writable before saving markers.
