<h2>Insert Time</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <dfn>Insert Time</dfn> window allows to insert blank space in the timeline,
|
|
on the selected track(s). It is accessed through the <kbd class="menu">Track
|
|
> Insert Time</kbd> menu.
|
|
</p>

|

</figure>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Insert Time window not only allows to set the time inserted, but also
|
|
some fine-tuning options:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="dl">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Insert Time starting at:</th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
Sets the point in the session where the time will be added. By default,
|
|
it is the playhead's position
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Time to insert:</th>
|
|
<td>Duration of the blank space inserted</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Intersected regions should:</th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
A choice as to what happens to regions that exists at the Insert Time set
|
|
above. See below.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Apply to all the track's playlists</th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
As a track can have multiple
|
|
<a href="@@understanding-playlists">playlists</a>, the insertion can
|
|
happen either only on the active playlist or on all the playlists of this
|
|
track.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Move markers</th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
As a <a href="@@working-with-markers">marker</a> can be
|
|
<kbd class="option">locked</kbd>, this option and the two subjacent ones
|
|
allow to shift the time position of those markers.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th>Move tempo and meter changes</th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
The <a href="@@tempo-and-meter">tempo and meter</a> markers, that can be
|
|
used to change the tempo along the session, can also be shifted in the
|
|
process. Though, moving the tempo markers while e.g. keeping the MIDI
|
|
regions unaffected can create oddities.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Both the two time fields have a useful context menu, that allows to copy/paste
|
|
the time and change the display among one of the <a href="@@editing-clocks">clock
|
|
modes</a>. The Insert Time field also has two options to <kbd class="menu">Set
|
|
from Playhead</kbd> (to get the insertion time from the playhead, which is what
|
|
happens by default) and <kbd class="menu">Locate to This Time</kbd> which moves
|
|
the playhead to the time field value, useful if the field has been manually edited
|
|
to better visualize the insertion point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The "Intersected regions should" dropdown allows to select what happens to
|
|
regions that cross the insertion position:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="dl">
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th><dfn>stay in position</dfn> <em>(default)</em></th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
The crossed regions are not affected by the time insertion. Only regions
|
|
after the insertion point are moved.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th><dfn>move</dfn></th>
|
|
<td>The crossed regions are shifted in time.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<th><dfn>be split</dfn></th>
|
|
<td>
|
|
The crossed regions are split, and the section after the time insertion
|
|
point is shifted in time.
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This last mode allows a <em>brute force</em> insertion, creating a blank space
|
|
in all the selected tracks, and replacing multiple operations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="note">
|
|
Note: One interesting option is, if a range selection (created with in <a href="@@toolbox">
|
|
Range Mode</a>) exists, it is used as the default parameters in the window, instead
|
|
of the playhead, for both the start time and duration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Remove Time</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <dfn>Remove Time</dfn> window, accessed through the <kbd class="menu">Track
|
|
> Remove Time</kbd> menu, is very similar to the previous, and its options
|
|
are very similar. Only the <em>"Intersected regions should"</em> option is not present.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The range selection note above can be especially useful in this context.
