Move and copy tempo control points
You can move and copy tempo control points in a number of ways:
Move a tempo control point in time
m Drag the control point left or right.
Move the selected tempo control point to the current playhead position
m Use the Move Region/Event to Playhead Position (Pickup Clock) key command.
Move the selected tempo control point, replacing the previous one
m Control-click a control point, then choose Extend Left from the shortcut menu.
The selected tempo control point is moved left to the position of the previous one, which
it replaces.
Note: This menu item is not available for the first tempo control point.
Copy a tempo control point
Do one of the following:
m Hold down Option while dragging a control point.
m Use the standard Copy and Paste operations (via the Edit menu or the corresponding key
command). The control point is pasted at the playhead position.
If you copy multiple control points using Copy and Paste, the first control point is pasted at the
playhead position.
Copy or move multiple tempo control points
m Shift-click or drag to select (while holding down Control), then drag all control points to the
target position.
Note: Any tempo control points at the target positions are replaced by the moved or
copied ones.
Copy tempo changes from a passage
1 Set the locators to the passage containing the correct tempo change.
2 Choose Edit > Select Inside Locators.
Note: When a marquee selection is active, using this key command sets the marquee selection
to match the locators.
3 Copy the tempo control points to the Clipboard (Command-C).
4 Deselect all tempo control points (by clicking the background).
5 Paste the tempo control points from the Clipboard (Command-V).
6 By default, the first control point is pasted at the current playhead position, but this can be
changed. A Position field appears alongside the first pasted control point, allowing you to alter
the bar position. If the first control point is not at the start of the bar in the passage, be sure to
alter the bar number, and leave the beat, sub-beat, and frame or tick values unaltered.
7 Press Return.
The copied tempo changes are selected, and you can undo the operation if necessary.
