Moving ShotClips

To move ShotClips interactively

  1. Make sure that the Select Tool is active (the cursor appears with double arrows). Alternatively, you can press the Space bar.
  2. Select a ShotClip and drag it to a new location on either the same or a different track.

    As you move the ShotClip on the same track, a shadow remains at its former location. When you release the mouse button, the shadow disappears.

    As you move a ShotClip to another track, a shadow outline of its new position appears so that you can place the ShotClip accurately. When you release the mouse button, the ShotClip snaps into its new location. The shadow of its new location appears gray.

NoteYou cannot move multiple clips between tracks.
