Editing Actions
Many actions have settings that you can edit. When you apply an action that has
editable settings, a dialog or sheet appears, letting you edit the action’s settings. You
can edit an action’s settings at any time you are working in the Waveform Editor.
To show an action’s settings, do one of the following:
m In the Actions list, select the action you want to edit, then choose “Edit Settings For
[action name]” from the Actions pop-up menu.
m In the Actions list, Control-click the action you want to edit, then choose “Edit Settings
For [action name]” from the shortcut menu.
m Double-click the action in the Actions list.
If the action has no editable settings, the Edit Settings menu item appears dimmed.
Turning Actions On and Off
You can turn individual actions on and off in the Actions list and hear the result when
you play the audio file. The waveform display updates to show the change to the audio
file. Depending on the length of the file, turning actions on and off can take time.
