Chapter 25: Editing Regions and Selections 503
Defining the Nudge Value
The Nudge value determines how far regions
and selections are moved when nudging.
Start and end points for selections can also be
moved by the Nudge value (see “Nudging Selec-
tion Start/End Points” on page 479). In addi-
tion, regions can be trimmed by the Nudge
value (see “Trimming with Nudge” on
page 502).
To set the Nudge value:
1 Do one of the following:
• From the View > Main Counter menu, select
the Time Scale for the Nudge value.
– or –
• To keep the Main Time Scale and use a dif-
ferent time format for the Nudge value, de-
select Follow Main Timebase in the Nudge
Value pop-up menu.
2 Specify a Nudge value by doing one of the fol-
lowing:
• From the Nudge value pop-up menu in the
Edit window, select the Nudge value.
– or –
• To specify a Nudge value not listed in the
Nudge Value pop-up menu, click the
Nudge Value indicator and type in the
value.
Nudging with Nudge
To nudge one or more region:
1 Configure the Nudge value (see “Defining the
Nudge Value” on page 503).
2 With the Time Grabber or Selector tool, select
the region, regions, or region groups you want
to nudge. The regions can reside on multiple
tracks. Only regions that are completely selected
are nudged.
3 Do one of the following:
• On the numeric keypad, press Plus (+) to
move the selection forward by the Nudge
value.
– or –
• Press Minus (–) to move the selection back
by the Nudge value.
The Nudge command works the same regardless
of the Edit mode. Adjacent regions are over-
lapped in Shuffle mode, the Spot dialog does not
appear when in Spot mode, and shifted material
does not snap to the Grid when in Grid mode.
