Removing a section of a layer
Remove a portion from the middle of one or more layers from the Timeline using the following two methods: - Lifting removes a section from the layers and leaves a gap of the same duration as the section you remove.
- Extracting removes a section from the layers and closes the resulting gap by ripple deletion.
To remove a section and leave a gap in time (lift): - In the Timeline window, adjust the work area to include only the portion of the layer or layers that you want to remove:
- Move the time marker to the time at which you want the work area to begin and press B on your keyboard.
- Move the time marker to the point where you want the work area to end, and press N.
- Turn on the lock switch (
) for any layers you do not want affected by the extraction. - Choose Edit > Lift Work Area to remove the section from all unlocked layers.
Note: If any layers are selected, this procedure affects only those layers.
To remove a section and close the resulting gap (extracting): - Follow steps 1 and 2 of the procedure for lifting (above).
- Choose Edit > Extract Work Area.
