Chapter 5 Working in the Timeline 35
Selecting Regions
In order to make changes to a region, you must first select it in the timeline.
To select a region, do one of the following:
• Select a single region by clicking it.
• Select multiple regions by Shift-clicking.
• Drag from a point before the first region to a point after the last one to select the
regions in between.
Note: To select regions and perform other actions such as looping and resizing, you
may need to zoom in on the region so that it is large enough to select.
Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Regions
You can cut, copy, and paste regions using the standard Mac OS menu commands and
keyboard shortcuts.
To cut a region:
m Select the region, then choose Edit > Cut.
To copy a region, do one of the following:
• Select the region, then choose Edit > Copy.
• Option-drag a loop to create a copy.
To paste a region:
m Move the playhead to the point in the timeline where you want the region to start,
then choose Edit > Paste.
When you paste a region, the playhead moves to the end of the pasted region. You can
paste additional copies of the region, and each one starts at the point in the timeline
where the previous one ends.
Looping Regions
You can loop a region so that it plays repeatedly. When you loop a region, it plays
repeatedly from the start point to the end point.
To loop a region:
1 Move the pointer over the upper half of the right edge of the region. The pointer
changes to a loop pointer, with a circular arrow.
