Multitrack Timeline after an edit is made
If you prefer, you can also double-click a clip in your multitrack project and its media file
opens in the File Editor project view, ready for waveform editing. Changes you make to
the file are instantly reflected in the multitrack project.
Editing in Place
You can view and modify a clip’s media file in the File Editor tab without losing the context
of your multitrack Timeline. This is called editing in place. Simply select a clip in the Timeline
and it appears in the File Editor tab below. The playheads in the Timeline and the File
Editor tab are synchronized so you can play the media file within the context of your
whole multitrack project. Any changes you make to the media file are updated in the
Timeline immediately.
Editing a clip’s media file in place (directly in the Timeline) is nearly identical to editing
the same 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.
