Colorizing Events on the Fly
You can colorize events or parts with the Color tool. By default, events or parts follow the color of
the corresponding track. However, you can overwrite this setting and, for example, select the
same color for events or parts that reside on different tracks.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Project window toolbar, select the Color tool.
2. Do one of the following to select a tool color:
●
Alt/Opt -click an event or part to copy its color.
●
Move the mouse pointer over the Color tool, and use the mouse wheel to step through
the colors of the current color set.
3. Optional: Select the events or parts that you want to colorize with the Object Selection tool.
This is only necessary if you want to colorize multiple events or parts.
4. On the Project window toolbar, select the Color tool.
5. Click the events or parts that you want to colorize.
RESULT
The events or parts are colorized and no longer follow color changes of the track.
NOTE
You can also Ctrl/Cmd -click an event or part with the Color tool to open the Colorize pane or to
select colors by names.
