Tail
The end of a clip on a Track is referred to as the Tail. The Tail may or may not represent the actual end
of the media file for the clip, since the clip is just a set of pointers to an area of the whole Media File.
Sync Point
The Sync Point is an internal reference point inside the clip. This defaults to the start of a clip until
moved.The Sync Point may be moved by dragging its handle within the clip. If the Play cursor is posi-
tioned over some part of the clip, the Sync Point may be snapped within the clip to the position of the
Play Cursor by choosing clips > Set Sync Point to Cursor.
Trim Handle
The Trim Handle is the middle handle available at either end of the clip when the clip is selected. This
handle is used to shorten or lengthen the clip (trim the clip in or out) up to the limit of the available
media. To trim the clip, drag the handle.
Fade Handles
The Fade Handles are the top and bottom handles available at either end of the clip when the clip is
selected. The handles are used to create a fade in at the beginning of the clip, or a fade out at the end
of the clip. To create or adjust a fade, drag one of the trim handles to create the desired fade in or fade
out. The top handle adjusts the fade within the clip and the bottom handle trims the clip in or out as you
adjust the fade. If the Top Handle is used with the CTRL key modifier, a symmetrical crossfade is cre-
ated with any adjacent clips, centered at the original end point of the selected clip. If no adjacent clip
exists, then it extends or shrinks the duration of the fade while maintaining the duration of the selected
clip.
Waveform Display
Clips can appear either as a block with the clip name inside, or can show the audio waveform of the
media referenced by the clip.
Clip Name
The name of the clip is shown unless suppressed. View > Waveform > Hide Clip Name when Wave-
form Shown.
Clip Gain
The overall Gain applied to the clip is shown. This value is displayed in decibels.
Gain can be adjusted by selecting Clips > Clip Gain. The Gain window appears. If a Region is
selected the Gain will be changed on all clips in the selection.
