Position Cursors

As you drag phrases or regions in the playlist to move or copy them, watch the closed-
hand cursor. It changes to help you place the moved or copied data precisely by
showing you when the moving TO point (Page 236) is touching certain key locations:

Performing an Edit Operation From the Edit Pop-Up Menu

To perform seven of the most commonly used editing operations on
selected phrases or regions from the Edit Pop-Up menu:
1. Select the desired operation from the Edit Pop-Up menu (Page 241).
ENTER/YES flashes. If the desired operation is grayed out, make sure
you’ve selected a phrase or region, and that all of the operation’s
required edit points are set.
2. Press ENTER/YES.
3. If edit messages—see “Edit Messages” on Page 240—are:
•

turned off

—the selected operation is performed, and you’re done.
•

turned on

—you can set the operation’s parameters as desired and press ENTER/
YES to proceed, or EXIT/NO to cancel the operation.

When the closed hand turns to: The TO point is precisely placed at:

the original position of the front edge of the selected
data if you haven’t dragged up or down.
the original position of the back edge of the selected
data if you haven’t dragged up or down.
the IN point.
the OUT point.
the original FROM location.
the timeline.
The position cursors are very precise, so watch the closed hand carefully. A position
cursor lights only when the FROM point is precisely at one of the above locations. This,
in fact, is what makes the position cursors so useful.
If the position cursors are appearing and disappearing too quickly for you to react, hold
down SHIFT and press

to zoom in on the playlist’s time axis.
If you’re moving audio and would prefer not to see the position cursors, hold down
CLEAR as you drag. (The cursors are always visible when you’re drag-copying audio.)
When you’re editing phrases, you can place the IN and OUT points—otherwise unused
in phrase editing—at locations where you think you may want to place dragged audio.
Watch for the position cursors to show you when the TO point touches them.
