General Principles
The track selection defined in the timeline is NOT taken into account when media
is dragged to the timeline. If IPEdit cannot determine the tracks to be added, all of
them are added to the timeline.
The channels in the audio tracks are added to the timeline in the same sequence
as they are defined in the source media. In other words, a1 in the source media
will be matched to a1 in the timeline, a2 in the source media to a2 in the timeline,
etc.
Possible Cases
The principles applied to define which tracks will be added to the timeline are the
following:
If the media is dragged from … Then …
the Player pane the Player track selection is taken into
account to add tracks to the timeline.
the Browser pane all the tracks of the media are added to the
timeline.
another IPDirector module all the tracks of the media are added to the
timeline.
Automatic Audio Swap in Drag-and-Drop Actions
When you drag the media to the timeline, you can perform an automatic audio
swap if you force, for example, the G1 track to be placed on the G2 track position
in the timeline. To do this, position your mouse on the G2 track when you drop the
media on the timeline.
For more information on the automatic audio swap, refer to section ‘Overview of
the Ways to Define Swaps and Mutes’, on page 165.

Principle
You always need to define an IN and OUT points in the media to be dragged since
it is added to the timeline from its IN to its OUT point. This is not applicable when
you drag media from the Player since the 3-point Edit is possible.
In all cases, the IN point of the media dragged will be snapped to the insertion
position.
To disable the snap effect, press CTRL during the drag-and-drop action. The
media will be dropped at the position where you will release the mouse.
