Clips and Cue Points

A cue point is a defined position marker that belongs to a clip. It may be positioned inside or outside the clip. Cue points are displayed as dotted vertical lines.

When you move a clip, its cue point is magnetic to any edges, markers, or positions that are activated on the Magnets menu. Magnetic cue points allow for easy selection. There are several uses for this:

• Set the cue point at a relevant position in the audio to align the clip with other clips, etc.
• Set the cue point before the start of a clip to position clips in a row with pre-defined spaces.

• Set the cue point at the fade in or fade out point of a clip to maintain defined fade lengths when crossfading.

Note

Each clip can only have one cue point. If you select another cue point insert option, the cue point is moved to a new position.

Nudging

Nudging in the montage window allows you to make fine adjustments. You can nudge clips, objects, and properties.

Each time that you use the nudge function, the selected element is nudged by a specific amount. By holding down user-specified modifier keys, you can nudge the element by smaller or larger amounts.

Magnetic bounds are not taken into account. Nudged elements do not snap to positions but can be moved freely.

Procedure

1. In the montage window, select the objects that you want to nudge.

2. Select the Edit tab.
3. In the Nudge section, click Target.

4. In the Target pop-up menu, activate the elements that you want to nudge or activate Auto Select Item.

5. Click Nudge - or Nudge + in the Nudge section or use the nudge icons on the transport bar.
   By holding down the user specified modifier keys, you can nudge the element by smaller or larger amounts.

You can set the nudge value that is used to adjust the elements. The large, small, and micro impulses are relative to the default value.

2. Select the All Audio Montages tab.

3. In the Basic Amplitudes for Nudging section, specify a default time for the nudge impulse in the Time field.

Elements That Can Be Nudged

The Target pop-up menu lists the elements and properties that can be nudged.

• To open the Target pop-up menus, select the Edit tab in the Audio Montage window, and right-click Target in the Nudge section.

Auto Select Item

Attempts to automatically select what should be nudged, depending on your last action. For example, if your last action was to select or move a clip, the Clip Position option is automatically selected in the Target menu. In most cases, this allows you to use the nudge feature without having to manually select nudge elements on the submenu.

Clip Position

Moves all selected clips.

Clip’s Left/Right Edge

Resizes the active clip. This function is similar to resizing with a static audio source.

Clip’s Fade In/Fade Out

Moves the fade in/fade out junction points of the active clip. If the envelope is a stereo envelope, both sides are adjusted.

Clip’s Crossfade

Narrows or widens the crossfade zone by moving the junction points of both clips in the crossfade. This nudging only functions if you select the second clip (the one to the right) in a crossfade pair.

Edit Cursor

Moves the edit cursor.

Left Edge of Selected Time Range

Moves the left edge of a selection range.

Right Edge of Selected Time Range

Moves the right edge of a selection range.
