Changing crossfade curves

You can change the crossfade curves that are used to fade in and out between two events.

Right-click a crossfade to choose a different crossfade curve

1.Right-click anywhere in the crossfade region to display a shortcut menu.

2.From the shortcut menu, choose Fade Type, and choose the desired fade type from the submenu.

Using undo

Pressing Ctrl+Z or clicking the Undo button () reverses the last edit performed. Repeatedly using the keyboard command or toolbar button continues undoing edits in reverse order, from most recent to oldest. In addition, you can undo the last edit by choosing it from the Edit menu.

Undoing a series of edits

You can undo a series of edits by using the drop-down list on the Undo button.

1.Click the arrow to the right of the Undo button ().

2.From the drop-down list, choose the edit that you want to undo. Items above it (subsequent edits) are selected automatically. Your project is restored to the state prior to those edits.

Use the mouse to select a series of edits.

When you undo an edit or a series of edits, they are added to the redo history. This feature allows you to restore your project to a previous state.

Tip: From the Edit menu, choose Undo All to undo all edits in the history. All edits are undone and added to the redo history.

Using redo

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z or clicking the Redo button () redoes the last undo performed. Repeatedly using the keyboard command or toolbar button continues redoing undos in reverse order, from most recent to oldest. In addition, you can redo the last edit by choosing it from the Edit menu.

Redoing a series of edits

You can view the redo history by clicking the arrow on the right side of the Redo button (). The top item in the list that appears is the most recent undo edit. If you redo a specific edit that appears farther down the list, all subsequent edits above it are redone as well.

When you redo an edit or a series of edits, they are added to the undo history again. The redo history is cleared when a new edit is performed.

Note: You are given unlimited undo and redo functionality while working on your project, even to the extent of being able to undo changes made before the last time a project was saved (but not closed). While you are working with a project, an undo history of the changes that you have performed is created. Each time you undo something, that change is placed in the redo history.

When you close the project or exit the software, both the undo and redo histories are cleared.
