Using Ranges
Overview
A range is the time span between two points, called the IN and OUT points, or the From and To
points.
When a range is present, the button labelled
cut clip or copy clip, erase clip etc. changes to
cut range, copy range, erase range. In this situation, the basic editing commands, cut, copy,
and
erase, target the parts of clips that lie inside the range.
Some other commands, like
Nudge, Fade and Clip Level, target only whole clips that lie inside
the range.
Pressing the
range button toggles the range on and off.
