4-Point Editing with the Range Selection Tool

You can use the Range Selection tool in Nuendo to select a range on the track where you want to place the audio, and another range that spans the audio you want to use. This works just like marking points in 4-point editing.

Prerequisite

The audio that you want to use as work file is imported into your project at a position behind the end of the program material. This prevents your work files from being included in the final mix. The corresponding tracks are moved to a folder track.

Procedure

  1. Watch the video, and with the Range Selection tool, select the range on the destination track where you want to insert your audio.
    Note

    You can also use the key commands for Left Selection Side to Cursor (E) and Right Selection Side to Cursor (D) to define the range selection on the fly.

  2. Listen to the audio to identify the audio that you want to use with the picture.
  3. Open the Range Selection pop-up menu and select Selection B.
  4. Select the audio range and press Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy this selection to the clipboard.
  5. Open the Range Selection pop-up menu and select Selection A to switch to the selection range you defined on the destination track.
    Note

    If you switch selections, also the viewing area is switched. This allows you to move quickly between source and destination audio.

  6. Press Ctrl/Cmd-V to paste the audio from the clipboard onto the track.

Result

The range on the destination track is replaced with the audio from the clipboard.
