Region Zoom

You can use the mouse to drag a selection box around a section of the

timeline. On mouse release, the timeline will zoom to fit the selected

segments.

Drag select a box and timeline will zoom to display segments.

Segment Editing

This mode lets you move or copy one or more segments on the timeline.

Select one or more segments as per the direct select mode described above.

To move the selected segment(s), we drag with the mouse and to copy we

use the keyboard short-cut keys.

Moving Segments

To move segments, select them, press with the left mouse button and drag

them to the new location on your timeline. Dragging will obey ripple mode.

If you are not in ripple mode, dragging one or more segments on top

of other segments will replace the segments below. In ripple mode,

the segments below are pushed out of the way.

The default move mode is snap to cut. The start and end of the dragged

segments will snap to any cut points they cross, and allow positioning flush to

any other segment (beside, above or below).
