Extend

Opens a menu where you can select the following options for creating or extending selection ranges:

Extend to Start of File extends the selection to the start of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is created from the edit cursor position.
Extend to End of File extends the selection to the end of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is created from the edit cursor position.
Extend to Previous Marker extends the left edge of the selection to the nearest marker to the left or the start of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is extended until the previous marker position.
Extend to Next Marker extends the right edge of the selection to the nearest marker to the right or the end of the audio file. If there is no selection, a selection is extended until the next marker position.
Extend to Cursor extends the selection to the edit cursor position.
From Start of File Until Cursor selects the range between the start of the audio file and the edit cursor position.

Shift Selection to the Left moves the selection by its length to the left.
Shift Selection to the Right moves the selection by its length to the right.
From Playback Position to End creates a selection range from the playback position to the end of the selection or to the end of the file if there is no selection. If playback is not active, the position of the edit cursor is used.
From Start to Playback Position creates a selection range from the playback position to the start of the selection or to the start of the file if there is no selection. If playback is not active, the position of the edit cursor is used.

Nudge

Target

This pop-up menu allows you to select which items are affected by the nudge function.

Auto Select Item automatically selects 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.
Clip Position moves the selected clips.
Clip’s Left/Right Edge resizes the active clip.
Clip’s Fade In/Fade Out moves the fade in/fade out junction points of the active clip. For stereo envelopes, 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 only works if you select the second clip (the one on the right) in a crossfade pair.
Edit Cursor moves the edit cursor.
Left Edge of Selected Time Range/Right Edge of Selected Time Range moves the left/right edge of a selection range.
Selected Marker moves the selected audio montage marker. To select a marker, click it in the area above the ruler.
Volume of Active Clip adjusts the volume of the active clip step by step according to the Gain setting in the Audio Montages Preferences.
Volume of All Selected Clips adjusts the volume of all selected clips step by step according to the Gain setting in the Audio Montages Preferences.
Pan of Active Clip adjusts the pan of the active clip. Nudge + pans to the left and Nudge – to the right.
Pan of All Selected Clips adjusts the pan of all selected clips. Nudge + pans to the left and Nudge – to the right.

Nudge -

Right-click Nudge Left to open a pop-up menu that allows you to change the nudge amplitude.

Nudge +

Nudges the target to the right or up, by the amount that is defined in the Audio Montages Preferences.

Right-click Nudge Right to open a pop-up menu that allows you to change the nudge amplitude.

Ripple

None: Deactivates the auto-shift function.
Track: If this option is activated and you move a clip horizontally, all clips on the active track that are located to the right of the edited clip are also moved. This option also applies when moving or resizing clips, and when inserting or pasting more than one clip at the same time.
Global: If this option is activated and you move a clip horizontally, all clips on all tracks that are located to the right of the edited clip are also moved. This option is taken into account when moving or resizing clips, and when inserting or pasting more than one clip at the same time.

Auto Grouping

Siblings

If this option is activated and you move or resize a clip horizontally, all clips on all tracks that are at the same vertical position with the same length as the clip that you are moving/resizing, are moved/resized as well.

When you double-click the lower area of a clip, all clip siblings are also selected. If several clips are already selected, double-clicking the lower area of a clip only selects this clip.

Track

If this option is activated and you move a clip horizontally, all overlapping or adjacent clips on the same track are also moved.

Global

If this option is activated and you move a clip horizontally, all vertically overlapping clips on all tracks are also moved.

Snapping

Crossfading

This pop-up menu allows you to make snapping settings for crossfades.

If Snap to Waveform When Crossfading is activated and you create a crossfade by dragging a clip towards another one located on its left side, the position of the moved clip is automatically adjusted to obtain a good correspondence between the clip waveforms. This correlation process provides a crossfade that is aligned in phase.
If Create Crossfade and Snap to Waveform When Snapping to Left Clip is activated and you move a clip to let its start snap to the end of another clip on its left, the clip is slightly moved to the left to create a short crossfade that is based on an optimal correlation between the two waveforms. This correlation process provides a crossfade that is aligned in phase.
If Create Crossfade When Snapping to Left Clip (Based on Fade Out) is activated and you move a clip to let its start snap to the end of another clip on its left, the clip is slightly moved to the left to create a crossfade.

The length of the crossfade is the fade in length of the clip on the right. If the fade in length is zero, the fade out length of the left clip is used as a basis instead. If that length is also zero, the Create Crossfade and Snap to Waveform When Snapping to Left Clip function is performed if activated.

Snap to Magnets

If this option is activated, moved elements such as clip edges, time selection edges, cursor, and markers snap to the magnets that are activated on the Magnets pop-up menu.

Magnets

This pop-up menu allows you to select which items should be magnetic.

Clip

Create from Selection

Allows you to create clips from the selection range. The following options are available:

Create Clip from Selection splits the clip at the start and end of the selection range. If no clip is overlapping the selection, an empty clip is created.
Copy Selected Range to Muted Lane copies the selected range as a clip to a muted lane. If the audio montage does not contain a muted lane, a muted lane is created. This allows you to edit the selected range with external editors while keeping a backup of the original selected range.

Repeat Clip

Opens the Repeat Clip dialog where you can specify how clips should be repeated.

Video Follows Edit Mode

If this option is activated, the video in the Video window automatically follows each edit that you make. This allows you to instantly see where in the video your edit is taking place.

Mute

Mutes the active clip.

Lock

This pop-up menu allows you to lock the active clip.

If Full Lock is activated, the clip is locked to prevent accidental editing.
If Time Lock is activated, the position and size of a clip are locked. Other editing options are still possible.

Cue Point

This pop-up menu allows you to make cue point settings.

Set at Cursor sets the cue point to a fixed position from the start of the clip.
Set at Default Gap Position sets the cue point before the start of the clip, at a distance governed by the default gap position.

You can specify the default gap in the Audio Montage Preferences in the Active Audio Montage tab.
Follows Fade In End Point sets the cue point to the fade in end point.
Follows Fade Out Start Point sets the cue point to the fade out start point.
If Custom Cue End is activated, you can set the end cue point at a custom position from the end of the clip. This option allows you to edit the gap individually for each clip.

If this option is deactivated, the default gap that is defined in the Audio Montages Preferences is used.
End Offset opens the End Cue Point Offset dialog that allows you to set the end cue point at a custom position from the end of the clip.

Editors
