Reordering Takes

You can vertically rearrange the order of takes in a multitake clip.

To rearrange the order of takes in a multitake clip:

1

Click the track header of the take you want to move.

2

Drag the take vertically to a new position in the list.

Example: A Multitake Editing Workflow

The following example demonstrates how you might create a comp from multiple
takes of an ADR session using the Multitake Editor. In this case, there are four takes of
the same line: “Would you like to try a sample of our organic Peruvian blend?”

To edit multiple takes of a line of dialogue using the Multitake Editor:

1

Select the multitake clip in the Timeline.

2

Control-click the ruler at the top of the multitrack Timeline, then choose Cycle Region
from the shortcut menu and Create Cycle Region from Selection from the submenu (or
press Shift-A).

3

Click the Multitake Editor tab to open it.

The comp track and, in this example, four take tracks, appear in the Multitake Editor.

4

Click the Solo button on the Take 1 track and click the Play button to listen to the first take.

Take 1 plays.

5

Repeat this playback for each take to familiarize yourself with how they sound.

6

Optionally, you can choose to add a take from the original sync-sound production audio
to use a guide track. (See “

Slipping Take Regions

” on page 255 for more information.)

7

When you are ready to make the first cut, click the Blade tool in the upper-left corner of
the Multitake Editor (or press B).

In this example, Take 3 contains the best version of the first few words (“Would you
like to...”).

Drag a take track header
to a new position in the
list.

A blue bar indicates

where the take track will

be positioned.
