166 Chapter 5 Working in the Timeline
Editing in Place
Editing a clip’s media file in place (directly in the Timeline) is nearly identical to editing
any other media file in the Soundtrack Pro File Editor. All of the same effects, editing
tools, and waveform views are available. However, there are a few differences:
 Timeline and File Editor playhead synchronization: When you edit a clip’s media file in
place, the Timeline and File Editor playhead are synchronized so you can work with
the media file within the context of your multitrack project.
 Multiple region markers: Because a media file may be referred to by multiple clips in a
multitrack project, you may see multiple region markers above a media file in the File
Editor. Each region marker shows the In and Out points of a clip in the Timeline that
refers to this media file. This alerts you to the fact that changes you make to this
media file may affect multiple clips.
How Clips Are Affected by Media File Editing
When you modify a media file in a multitrack project, all clips that refer to that media
file are updated simultaneously. For example, if you have ten clips referring to the same
media file and you double-click one of the clips to modify its underlying media file, any
changes you make to the media file affect all ten clips.
How Source Audio File Editing Works in a Soundtrack Pro
Multitrack Project
When you edit a clip in place or open a clip in the File Editor tab, the way the source
audio file is handled depends on its file format.
 If the clip’s audio file format is a native Soundtrack Pro audio file project: The audio file
project is opened directly in the File Editor tab, allowing you to make nondestructive
changes to the media.
