Moving Regions Adjacent to Crossfades

When you move either of the regions that con-
tributes to a crossfade, the regions separate. The
status of the fade depends on the Preserve Fades
when Editing preference (in the Editing Prefer-
ences page).

To separate crossfaded regions and retain the
corresponding fades:

1

Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Edit-

ing

tab.

2

Select Preserve Fades when Editing.

3

Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

4

Use the Time Grabber or Separation Grabber

tool to select one of the contributing regions to
a crossfade.

5

Drag the selected region with the Grabber.

To separate crossfaded regions and remove the
fade:

1

Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Edit-

ing

tab.

2

Deselect Preserve Fades when Editing.

3

Click OK to close the Preferences dialog.

4

Use the Time Grabber or Separation Grabber

tool to select one of the contributing regions to
a crossfade.

5

Drag the selected region with the Grabber.

Nudging Regions Adjacent to
Crossfades

When you nudge either of the regions that con-
tributes to a crossfade, the fade stretches to pre-
serve the relative position of the crossfade start
and end points. The amount of stretch depends
on the amount of overlap between the contrib-
uting regions.

If you nudge a region beyond the boundary of
available audio for the crossfade, the fade is re-
moved.

To nudge a region and stretch its crossfade:

1

Use the Time Grabber tool to select one of the

contributing regions to the crossfade.
