middle. Again, the entire project (to the right of the insertion point) is shifted

Using the Source window
The Source window is a single, integrated tool that lets you easily view the
contents of any audio, video or image clip, perform trimming operations,
and place clip specific cues. Clips can be dragged to and from the Source
window and into the Timeline or Production Library. A quick double-click
will immediately open up a clip in the Source window. The Source window
itself is made visible by selecting the Source Window button on the Stan-
dard toolbar or by using the Window: Source Window command. Once a
clip is opened you can use the menu list to select any other clip which you
have previously opened in the Source window, listed by track and start time.
The next few pages cover the Source window in more detail.
