164 Chapter 5 Working in the Timeline
Using the Timeline Editing Tools
The Timeline includes editing tools you can use to edit and adjust clips in the Timeline.
Selection Tool
When you open the Timeline, the pointer is a selection pointer (arrow). You can use the
Selection tool to select clips and tracks by clicking them and use it to make marquee
selections across multiple tracks. When you are done using another Timeline editing
tool, you can return the pointer to a selection pointer by clicking the Selection Tool
button or by pressing A.
Timeslice Tool
You can use the Timeslice tool to make time-based selections. Timeslice tool selections
are entirely time-based, so you can use the Timeslice tool to select portions of clips or
portions of multiple clips. (This is unlike selections across multiple tracks with the
default Selection tool, which can only select whole clips.) Timeslice selections in the
Timeline will also appear as selections in the File Editor tab. For more information
about the Timeslice tool, see “
Editing with the Timeslice Tool ” on page 174.
Blade and Blade All Tools
Using the Blade tool, you can perform many splits consecutively without moving the
playhead each time. Use the Blade All tool to split across all tracks. For more
information about the Blade and Blade All tools, see “
Splitting and Joining Audio Clips ”
on page 170.
