Menu Reference
Duplicate/Repeat…
• Duplicate creates a copy of the selected event and
places it directly after the original.
If several events are selected, all of these are copied “as one unit”, main-
taining the relative distance between the events.
• Selecting “Repeat…” from the Edit menu opens a dia-
log, allowing you to create a number of copies (regular or
shared) of the selected event(s).
This works just like the Duplicate function, except that you can specify
the number of copies.
Fill Loop
This creates a number of copies starting at the left locator
and ending at the right locator. The last copy is automati-
cally shortened to end at the right locator position.
Move to
The following functions are available from this submenu:
Convert to Real Copy
This creates a new version of a clip (that can be edited in-
dependently) and adds this to the Pool.
Group/Ungroup
You can group several events so that they are treated as a
single unit, meaning that if you edit one of the grouped
events, all other events in the group are affected as well.
Similarly, you can ungroup the events by selecting “Un-
group”.
Lock…/Unlock
If you want to make sure you don’t edit or move an event by
accident, you can lock the selected event(s). Locking can
affect one (or any combination) of the following properties:
To specify which of these properties should be affected
by the Lock function, use the “Lock Event Attributes” pop-
up menu in the Preferences (Editing page).
Selecting locked events and choosing “Unlock” will un-
lock the events.
Mute/Unmute
You can mute (silence) events by selecting them and se-
lecting “Mute”.
Similarly, you can unmute the selected events by selecting
“Unmute”.
Project Logical Editor
This opens the Project Logical Editor, where you can per-
form advanced “search and replace” operations on project
level.
Process Project Logical Editor
This submenu contains various presets for use with the
Project Logical Editor.
Option Description
Cursor Moves the selected event to the project cursor position. If
there are several selected events on the same track, the
first event will start at the cursor, and the following will be
lined up end-to-start after the first one.
Origin Moves the selected events to their original positions, i.e.
the positions at which they were originally recorded.
Front/
Back
This function doesn’t actually change the position of the
events, but moves the selected events to the front or
back, respectively. This is useful if you have overlapping
events and want to see one that is partially obscured.
For audio events, this is an extra important feature, since
only the visible sections of events will be played back.
Moving an obscured audio event to front (or moving the
obscuring event to back) will allow you to hear the whole
event on playback.
Note that it is also possible to use the “Front” function on
the event context menu for this (although this works in a
different way).
Option Description
Position If this is locked, the event cannot be moved.
Size If this is locked, the event cannot be resized.
Other If this is locked, all other editing of the event is disabled.
This includes adjusting the fades and event volume, pro-
cessing, etc.
