Splitting Clips
In many situations you may find yourself splitting audio clips in order to separate multiple rolling takes.
1 Select each track that has a clip you want to split.
2 Move the playhead to intersect the clips you want to split at the frame where you want the split to happen.
3 Do one of the following:
a) Choose Timeline > Split Clip or press Command-\ (backslash).
b) Choose Timeline > Razor or press Command-B.
When you split a clip in the Edit page, a through edit appears to show that you currently have an edit with continuous timecode running from the outgoing to the incoming half. This is called a through edit and is displayed in the Edit page with a dotted line running along its edge so you know that it’s special. The Fairlight page doesn’t display through edits as of the time of this writing.
Linked Clips in the Fairlight Page
Clips can be linked together in the Fairlight page. When multiple clips are linked, Fairlight editing commands treat all linked clips as if they were a single clip. Anything you would do to a single clip is done to all linked clips at once. Selecting one item of a linked clip selects all items. Editing the In point of one item of a linked clip edits them all.
1 Select all clips you want to link together.
2 Right-click one of the selected clips, and choose Link Clips from the contextual menu.
A link indicator at the bottom left of every clip you’ve just linked shows their new linked status.
