Placing Clips in Tracks

To place a clip in a track:

1 In the Clip List, select the clip or clips you want to place.

2 Drag the selected clips from the Clip List to a location in a track.

If dragging multiple clips, the clips are placed on adjacent tracks left to right or on multiple tracks from top to bottom depending on the selected Timeline Drop Order option (see Setting Timeline Drop Order). If dragging a stereo audio clip, it must be placed in a stereo track or in two mono tracks.

Clips are placed according to the current Edit mode:

In Shuffle mode, existing track clips are slid as necessary to make room for the new clip.

In Spot mode, you are prompted by the Spot dialog to enter a location for the dragged clip (see Spotting Clips).

In Grid mode, the dragged clip snaps to the nearest Grid boundary.

You can temporarily disable Grid mode while dragging a clip by holding down the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) after clicking with the mouse.

In Slip mode, the clips are placed exactly where they are dropped in the destination track.
