Figure 6-37: Moving a clip
With the insert mode activated, if a clip is moved to a cutting point, the
clip will be inserted there while the rest of the material moves back-
wards in the timeline. If it is dropped in the middle of another clip, this
clip will be divided and its rest as well as the rest of the track’s contents
will be moved to the end of the inserted clip.
When the moved clip comes close to certain elements of the timeline,
it will automatically snap and position itself to these elements. This is
called the snapping mode of the Edit Tool. It makes an easy positioning
of elements possible. The moved clip will react to the following ele-
ments:
– Starting point of timeline
– Start and end points of timeline elements (e.g. clips and transi-
tions)
– The position of the timeline cursor
– Set in- and outpoint of the timeline
You can disable the snapping mode and activate a fine tuning mode by
pressing the [Shift] key.
In the overwrite mode when moving clips or performing other work,
gaps may occur in the timeline. A gap means that a clip is no longer in
connection with previous or following clips in the timeline, and when
played out, there will be nothing to output in this part of the timeline.
A gap is indicated by the Edit Tool via a red line in the timeline scale:
This behavior depends on the selected mode of the timeline.
With the overwrite mode activated, the moved clip will over-
write the contents of the track from the point of the insertion
on. See section “The Insert/Overwrite Mode of the Timeline”
on page 6-34 for more details.
