Erasing Parts of Clips Inside Selection Ranges

Erasing the part of a clip inside a selection range results in a gap between the two resulting clips.

Procedure

1. In the montage window, select a range in a clip.
2. Select the Edit tab.
3. In the Removal section, click Erase Selected Range.
   If Snap to Waveform when Crossfading or Create Crossfade when Snapping to Left Clip (Based on Fade Out) are activated, the position of the right clip is adjusted for the best possible phase match between the clips.
   The auto grouping settings are taken into account.

Deleting Parts of Clips Inside Selection Ranges

Deleting the part of a clip inside a selection range removes the selected range and moves the right section of the clip to the left to fill the gap.

Procedure

1. In the montage window, select a range in a clip.
2. Select the Edit tab.
3. In the Removal section, click Delete Selected Range.
   If any of the automatic crossfading modes or the option Create Default Fades in New Clips are activated, a default crossfade is created between the resulting two clips. This creates a clean transition.

Result

The selected range is deleted and the right section of the clip is moved to the left to fill the gap.

Deleting Clips

Deleting clips does not delete the audio file that is referenced by the clips.

Procedure

• Do one of the following:
• Right-click a clip and select Delete.
• Select a clip and press Delete.
  To ensure that there is no selection range, press Esc.

Empty Clips

If the audio file of a clip is missing, an empty clip displays the length and position of the missing clip.

Empty clips are useful for the following:

• As place holders, to create audio montage templates with empty clips.
• As an alternative to muting a clip. The difference is that for empty clips no audio is copied when cloning the audio montage.
• To define regions. Because a clip has a start and end point in the audio montage, it defines a range which can be used as a reference for any purpose.

Removing the Source of Clips

You can create an empty clip by removing a source file of a clip. This does not delete the audio file from the disk.

Procedure

1. In the montage window, select the clip for which you want to remove the source audio file.
2. Select the Insert tab.
3. In the Selected Clip section, click Replace Audio File, and select Remove Source.

Locking Clips

You can lock clips to prevent them from being accidentally moved, edited, or deleted.

Procedure

1. In the montage window, select a clip.
2. Do one of the following:
• Select the Edit tab, open the Lock pop-up menu in the Clip section, and activate Full Lock or Time Lock.
• In the Clips window, select Functions, and activate Lock/Unlock Selected Clips or Lock/Unlock Moving and Resizing.

Result

A lock symbol indicates that a clip is locked.
