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.

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.

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

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

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

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 couple of words.

Using the Blade tool, click just after the waveform for the second word in the Take 2 track.
