Lift and Stamp Tools

The Lift and Stamp tools provide an efficient way to transfer properties from one clip to
one or more other clips. Use the Lift tool to copy properties from selected clips and
create a processing template in the Sound Palette that can be applied to other clips.
Use the Stamp tool to apply those properties to the other clips. For more information
about the Lift and Stamp tools, see “

Using the Lift and Stamp Tools

” on page 179.

Scrub Tool

The Soundtrack Pro Scrub tool provides detailed scrubbing that realistically
approximates the “rock-the-reels” scrubbing on analog tape decks. For more
information about the Scrub Tool, see “

Scrubbing Audio Files

” on page 200.

Timeline Editing Tools HUD

The Timeline includes a handy HUD that provides all of the graphical Timeline editing
tools at the stroke of a single keyboard shortcut. This saves you the time and effort of
having to move the pointer up to the top of the Timeline whenever you need to select
(or deselect) a Timeline editing tool.

To use the Timeline Editing Tools HUD:

1

Press the grave accent key ( ` ).

The Timeline Editing Tools HUD appears at the pointer location.

2

In the HUD, do one of the following to choose the Timeline editing tool that you want
to use:

 Click the tool’s icon.
 Press the corresponding number key (1–7, left to right).
 Use the Left and Right Arrow keys and press Enter.

When you have finished using a Timeline editing tool, it is a good idea to immediately
return to the default Selection tool.
