Fades; Edit Command Highlights; Duplicate Selection - Merging Pyramix Quick Start Manual

Once a Region is marked on a Clip, simply clicking on the Region makes an edit. (same effect as the Edit > Split
menu command.) This will split the Clip or Clips at the region boundaries. If a Region is across several Tracks,
Edits will be made on all Tracks within the Region.
Holding down the C key changes the mouse pointer to a cutter. Edits (cuts) are made wherever the user clicks. To
make an edit with the cutter on a range of clips at the same position, just select them before cutting.

Duplicate Selection

Holding down the D key while clicking on the selection then dragging to a new location duplicates the selected
material and moves it.
Holding down the F key while clicking on the selection then dragging to another track (or tracks if the selection
covers more than one track) duplicates the selected material and moves it locked in time.

Fades

The timing of a Fade In at the beginning of a Clip and a Fade Out at the end can easily be adjusted using the top
Control Point on a Clip's Trim Handles. However, Pyramix offers much more precise and flexible means for
adjusting Fades.
1. Click on a Clip to select it.
2. Right-click on the Clip.
Choose Fade In > Edit... from the main Edit or context pop-up menu (or Fade Out > Edit... as appropriate). Or
choose the Fade Editor Tab in the Project Management Panel. The Fade Editor window will open. Please see
The Pyramix User Manual for a full description of the Fade Editor.

Pyramix keeps track of all edit decisions and operations so they can be undone if neces-
sary. This menu item shows the name of the last operation. To undo this operation, simply
click on the Undo (operation) menu item and the listed operation will be undone. When-
ever an item is undone, it immediately shows up as the most recent item in the Redo list.
Pyramix keeps track of the most recent edit decisions and operations and shows them
here in a sub-menu. These are listed from the most recent at the top, to the oldest at the
bottom of the list. To undo a whole block of operations, click on the name of the oldest
operation and everything since that time (from that point in the list to the top of the list)
will be undone. The name of the next operation in the list will be shown as the next Undo
item, and all the items that have been undone are immediately added to the Redo His-
tory list. The size of the undo history is set to 32 steps by default, but it can be adjusted in
the Settings > General Settings : General page.
If an operation has been undone using the Undo commands in this menu, the most
recently undone operation will be shown here. To Redo the operation, simply click on
Edit > Redo and the operation will be Redone. Whenever an item is Redone, it immedi-
ately shows up as the most recent item in the Undo list in this menu. The next edit opera-
tion carried out in Pyramix will then purge this item since the operation could cause a
conflict with previous operations and therefore renders the Redo invalid.
Pyramix keeps track of the most recent operations that have been undone, and shows
them here in the Redo History sub-menu. To Redo a whole block of operations, click on
the name of the oldest operation and everything since that time (from that point in the
list to the top of the list) will be Redone. The name of the next operation in the list will be
shown as the next Redo menu item, and all the items that have been Redone are immedi-
ately added to the Undo History list. The next edit operation carried out in Pyramix will
then purge this list since the operation could cause a conflict with previous operations
and therefore renders the Redo list invalid.
This command deletes the selected clip or region. When a selection is deleted, other
material on the track behaves according to the current Remove mode setting.
