Replacing the Source Audio in a Clip
Each audio clip in the Timeline has a set of properties specific to the clip, including
duration, speed, and transposition. You can replace the source audio in the clip while
preserving the clip’s properties. This feature has a variety of uses, such as letting you try
out similar audio files (for example, music beds or sound effects) while maintaining the
clip’s duration, position in the Timeline, and transposition.
For information about properties of audio clips, see “
To replace the source audio file for a clip:
1
In the Timeline, select the clip for which you want to replace the source audio.
2
In any media tab, Control-click the audio file that will replace the selected clip’s audio,
then choose Replace Selected Clips With [filename] from the shortcut menu.
When you replace the source audio in a clip, the clip’s duration and offset stay the
same. Only the portion of the new source audio file equal to the clip’s length plays. If
the new source audio file is a music loop and it is shorter than the clip’s length, the clip
loops when it reaches the end of the new source audio file. Notches appear on the clip
to indicate the point at which the clip starts looping.
You can replace the source audio in all clips using the same source audio file with
another source audio file by using the Select All Occurrences and Replace Selected
Loops commands together.
Select a clip,

file that will replace the
