Dragging is the simplest way to move events in your project. You can drag an event so it occurs earlier or later in your project, or you can drag it to another track.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to move events. Press 1 or 3 on the numeric keypad to move one frame left or right, or press 4 or 6 on the numeric keypad to move one pixel left or right.

1. Click an event and hold the mouse button.

2. Drag the event to the position where you want it to be played.

Notes:

• If you drag an event so that it overlaps another event, a crossfade is inserted to transition smoothly between the two events. For more information about automatic crossfades, click here.

• If the Auto Ripple button is selected, downstream events will move as you drag the event. For more information about ripple editing, click here.

3. Release the mouse button.

If you right-click and drag an event, a shortcut menu is displayed when you release the mouse button. You can choose Move Here from the menu to move the event, or choose Copy Here to preserve the position of the original and create a copy of the event where you release the mouse.

1. If you want to move an event and all subsequent events on a track, right-click the event and choose Select Events to End or turn on Auto Ripple .

2. Drag the events to the position where you want them to be played.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts to move events. Press 1 or 3 on the numeric keypad to move one frame left or right, or press 4 or 6 on the numeric keypad to move one pixel left or right.
