Trim Selection Left/Right to Nowline

These commands move the edit-in point (Trim Left) or edit-out point (Trim Right) of all the selected
ingredients to the Nowline. It is very unusual to request this operation if the edit-in (or edit-out)
points of all the selected ingredients are not aligned in the first place. If this is the case the program
will ask if you really want to perform the trimming operation.
Note that the selection of the ingredient fade pivot point affects the result of this command. The
ingredient will be trimmed so that the selected fade pivot point aligns with the Nowline. (See
§ 2.3.8.1 for more on fade pivot points.)
2.9.7

Slice Selection at Nowline

This command slices a single ingredient into two ingredients. It slices all the selected ingredients that
intersect the Nowline. If you try to slice with the Nowline inside a splice (see § 2.12), Sonoma will
remove the splice first.
When an ingredient is sliced, any gain change across the original ingredient will be maintained
across the two newly created ingredients. Gain interpolation is explained below in § 2.11.5.2.
2.9.8

Unslice Selection

The unslice command is enabled when two or more adjacent ingredients on the same channel are
selected. It searches the selection for adjacent pairs of ingredients that use the same clip and whose
edit in and edit out points align. It replaces each such pair with a single ingredient comprising both of
the originals. Unslice is applied progressively from left-to-right so if there is a sequence of slices
from the same clip they will all be combined in a single new ingredient.

Region-Based Editing and Linear Editing

The commands in this section work with the edit region which is defined by an EDL's edit cursors
and channel selection (see § 2.6.2). Simple region copy and delete are available.
Linear editing is sometimes called four-point editing, or assembly editing. It involves working
left-to-right, taking material from a source EDL and assembling it in a destination EDL. When you
perform linear editing in Sonoma, you will need to designate a source and destination EDL, and
define an edit region in both. The linear edit commands (insert, layer and replace) move material
from the source EDL's region to the destination EDL's region.
