Splitting clips

In some cases, you might want to split a clip. As described later in this tutorial, it can be beneficial to have clip borders at different points on a track. You can split a clip with the Smart tool or Split tool .

To split a clip, do one of the following:

With the Smart tool , position the pointer where you want to split the clip, then hold down ALT and click (or lasso to split a region).

With the Split tool , position the pointer where you want to split the clip, then click (or drag to split one or more clips at the mousedown and mouseup points).

 

Note: The Split tool obeys the Snap to Grid settings. If a split does not occur exactly where you click, disable Snap to Grid and try again.

Tip: You can also press the S key to split the selected clip(s) at the current Now time.

For this tutorial, select the Split tool , position the Now time at measure 10 in the track named GTR_Lead1, then click to split the clip.
