Pasting events

Once information is copied to the clipboard, you may choose a variety of ways to paste the clipboard items. Items are always pasted from the cursor’s position along the timeline.

When post-edit ripple mode is enabled, material is pushed down the track to make room for pasted material. The exact behavior of the ripple depends on what is being pasted, and the type of ripple edit you chose to perform. If one or more events are pasted, only those tracks where pasted material appears are ripple edited.

Tip: You can apply a ripple edit after pasting. For more information, see Applying post-edit ripples on page 110.

1.Move the cursor to the desired location on the timeline.

2.Click either the track number or within the track where you want to paste the event. This track is the focus track; there can be only one focus track at a time.

Note: If you are pasting multiple events from different tracks, new tracks are automatically created as needed.
