Region on a Track
A region—or an Edit selection including one or
more regions on the same track or on multiple
tracks)—can snap to the end of the preceding re-
gion or to the beginning of the following region
using the Snap To Next or Snap To Previous
commands. This is useful for "butt splicing" ad-
jacent regions on a track.
To snap to the preceding region on a track:
Do one of the following:
1
• With the Time Grabber, select a region.
– or –
• With the Selector, select an area in a track
that contains whole regions. The regions
do not need to be adjacent.
Do one of the following:
2
• Choose Edit > Snap To > Previous.
– or –
• Right-click the region or Edit selection and
choose Snap to Previous in the pop-up
menu.
The selected region snaps to the preceding re-
gion on the track so that the two regions are
"butt-spliced."
To snap to the next region on a track:
Do one of the following:
1
• With the Time Grabber, select a region.
