Clip Resizing

In this context, resizing usually means moving the start and end points of a clip. This reveals more or less of the original audio file.

To resize a clip, click the left or right edge of the clip, and move the start or end point to the left or to the right. You cannot drag the edge of a clip past the start or end point of the audio file it refers to.

If you press Alt when resizing, all selected clips are resized by the same amount.

Resized Clip Indicator

When you resize a clip, a small triangle is shown in the upper left or right corner of the clip, depending on whether you resize the beginning or the end of the clip. This indicator can help you find and correct errors, for example, when you cut too much of the clip and the start or the end of the audio is missing.

Figure 1. Clip before and after resizing it. The indicator in the top right corner shows that the clip has been resized.

When you hover the mouse over the resized clip indicator, a tooltip shows the audio length before/after the clip. The displayed time unit depends on the time unit of the time ruler.
