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 can choose a variety of ways to paste the clipboard items. Items are always pasted
from the cursor’s position along the timeline.
When post-edit ripple mode is enabled, material is pushed 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.
1. Move the cursor to the desired location on the timeline.
2. Click either the track number or within the track where you want to paste the event. This track is the focus track; there can be
only one focus track at a time.
3. Click the Paste button ( ).
Clipboard events are pasted at the cursor position on the track. Existing track events can be overlapped with newly pasted
information.

Tip: When the Cut, copy, and delete grouped events check box on the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog is selected, cutting,
copying, or deleting an event will affect all events in the same group. If you need to delete a single event, you can choose Ignore
Event Grouping from the Options menu to temporarily ignore grouping.
Tip: You can apply a ripple edit after pasting. For more information, see Applying post-edit ripples on page 89.
Note: If you are pasting multiple events from different tracks, new tracks are automatically created as needed.
