• The resulting object will appear in the library labelled, Region of {Project Name}.
Dragging Clips into a Composition
The simplest way to place an audio Clip into your Composition is by dragging it from a Media Folder or Library.
To drag from a Media Folder:
1. Click on the Media Management Tab to open the Media Management tab window.
2. Double-click on a mounted Media Folder or subfolder to open it. The Master Clips will all be listed on the
right side of that window.
3. Select a Master Clip by left-clicking and holding. Drag the Master Clip into a Track. You can place it into any
Track, at any point on the Track.
The procedure for dragging an object from a Library is virtually identical to that outlined above for Media Drives.
However, access the required Library using the Global Libraries or Document Libraries Tabs in the Project
Management Panel.
Copy and Paste
Another way to get objects into a Composition is by copying and pasting them.
1. Select an object in a Media Folder or Library.
2. Right-click on the Master Clip, and choose Copy from the pop-up.
3. Place the Play Head Cursor where you want to paste the beginning of the Master Clip.
4. Right-click on the Track to which you wish to place the Clip, and choose Paste to Cursor from the pop-up.
The beginning of the object will be placed at the Play Head in the Track on which you right-clicked. Alterna-
tively, simply click the mouse on the Track and at the time you want the Clip to start, right -click and choose
Paste to Mouse to insert the Clip where you placed the mouse cursor.
Selecting a Clip
Click on any Clip in the Composition to select it. It will change color to indicate selection. Shift-click to select multi-
ple Clips at the same time.
Simple Copy and Paste
1. Left-click a Clip to select it.
2. Right-click and choose Copy from the pop-up. (or use menu Edit > Copy or use Ctrl + C)
3. Place the Play Head Cursor where you want to paste the beginning of the Master Clip.
4. Right-click on the Track to which you wish to place the Clip, and choose Paste to Cursor from the pop-up. (or
use menu Edit > Paste to Cursor or use Ctrl + V). The beginning of the Clip will be placed at the Play Head in
the Track on which you right-clicked. Alternatively, simply place the mouse cursor on the Track and at the
time you want the Clip to start, right-click and choose Paste to Mouse to insert the Clip where you placed
the mouse cursor.
Selecting a Region
To select a Region, click the mouse at one end of the Region you wish to select, and drag the cursor to the other
end of the Region you wish to select.
A Region can include more than one Clip, and may extend across multiple Tracks. The selected Region may also
include the area(s) on a Track where no Clip is present.
Adding Tracks to a Selected Region
With a Region selected, Shift + Click on other Tracks to add them to the selection. The Tracks do not have to be
continuous.
