How to move an extracted audio clip to another track?

[goddi]

Greetings,

I want to move the extracted audio clip to another existing track. I know I can drag it down but if if I am not exact, the audio clip will not match up with the lips of the person talking. Is there a way to move it so it stays in the correct position with a key stroke?

Double Click so that the Audio Tab of Project Options opens.

That clip should be highlighted.

Drag it down to the Track you want, if there are already preceding clips on that track then make sure you slot it into the correct place.
So if there are 3 clips in front then drag it into 4th place on that track.

 

You are supposed to be able to hold down Shift & drag in Timleline to keep the position but I have never managed to get that to work.

 

The other method is to note the time it starts, in the box just above the Timeline, then drag & make sure the Time is the same by adjusting it if necessary.

Hi Jill,

The entry in the OH / Hotkeys is

• Shift + Left Mouse Click on an Audio Track- Constrain movement of Track to Horizontal Plane

It is difficult to remember where and when these Hotkeys originated - maybe Igor can help when he returns.

Hi Dave, Thanks. I know several of the Hotkeys, but there are so many options it is difficult to remember them all.
I knew there was a Shift+Left Click to Constrain Vertically but I see that is for a KeyPoint. 

I think these two would be better swapped over

• Shift + Left Mouse Click on a Key Point- Constrain movement of Keypoint to Vertical Plane
  
  It would be better if we could keep the Volume level but move the Keypoint horizontally - So constrain the movement horizontally
  Trying to get 2 KeyPoints to have the same Volume level is tricky, even when the Track height has been maximised.

• Shift + Left Mouse Click on an Audio Track- Constrain movement of Track to Horizontal Plane
  
  This would be better if we could Constrain the position of the Sound clip and just move it to a different Track - So Constrain it Vertically

Greetings,

Thanks, I like the way of left-clicking on the Audio Clip in the Timeline and all the Tracks show up. I, then, can just drag down the separated audio clip in Track 1 down into Track 2. And then delete the empty Track 1. This helps to consolidate the audio clips. When you Separate Audio from Video, it puts the audio clip in its own Track and that can become messy when you do a lot of them.

Thanks for the tip, Gary
