Normally, when you trim regions by dragging with the mouse, it affects
|
|
only the selected regions. Their lengths are directly affected by the
|
|
trim operation, but nothing else is. Sometimes though, you might like
|
|
to trim a region that directly adjoins another, and keep this relationship
|
|
the same — you are not trying to make one of the regions extend
|
|
over the other — you would like the junction to move in one
|
|
direction or the other as part of the trim. This requires trimming both
|
|
regions on either side of the junction, in opposite directions.
|
|
<dfn>Push/Pull trim</dfn>, activated by pressing shift key before
|
|
starting the drag, will do just that. Here's a few pictures to show the
|
|
difference in the results of a normal trim and push/pull trim. First,
|
|
the initial situation:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<img src="/images/a3_before_trim.png" alt="region arrangement before trim" />
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here is what happens after we trim the right hand (selected) region by
|
|
dragging its starting position earlier:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<img src="/images/a3_after_trim.png" alt="region arrangement after a trim" />
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can see that it now overlaps the earlier region and a crossfade has
|
|
been created between them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Lets look now at what happens if we do the same trim, but <kbd
|
|
class="mouse mod3">Left</kbd>-dragging to turn it into a push-pull trim instead:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<img src="/images/a3_after_push_trim.png" alt="region arrangement after a push trim" />
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no overlap, and the end of the earlier region has been moved
|
|
along with the start of the later region, so that they still directly
|
|
adjoin each other.
