Expanding Alternate Takes to New Playlists

Expanding alternate takes to new playlists readily facilitates track compositing. Once you have expanded alternate takes to new playlists on a track, you can audition and edit them in Playlists view to assemble the best takes in the main playlist.

To expand alternate takes to new playlists:

1 Identify the clip on the main playlist with matching alternate clips (takes).

2 Do one of the following:

Right-click the clip and choose Matches > Expand Alternates To New Playlists.

If the clip is selected, with the Selector tool, Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) anywhere on the selected clip and choose Matches > Expand Alternates To New Playlists.

If the clip is not selected, with the Selector tool, Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac) at the precise beginning of the loop or punch range and choose Matches > Expand Alternates To New Playlists.

All matching alternate clips are copied to new playlists on the track. To view all playlists for the track, select Playlists view. In any track view, you can also select any available alternate playlist as the main playlist from the Playlist selector.
