310 Chapter 4 Using the Timeline
To move a region:
m Position the pointer over the region, then drag to move the region.
To deselect tracks from a selection range:
m Command-click the track you want to deselect.
Once you have defined your selection range, you can delete the section or ripple
delete the section (to delete it and close the resulting gap). You can cut or copy the
section to move it to the Clipboard so you can paste it somewhere else.
Note: Pasting a region does not paste at the current playhead location. To quickly
move the pasted region to the playhead location, press the Shift key while you drag
the pasted object. As you approach the current playhead location, it snaps into place.
You can also paste into a region, which fills the existing region with the contents of the
Clipboard.
Paste Into
Regions are also useful for performing a special type of paste command called paste
into. You can define a region and paste objects into that region. You have three choices
for how the paste into is performed. You can insert, pushing the existing region down
in time, overwrite the existing contents of the region, or exchange the existing objects
with the Clipboard contents. In all of these cases, the pasted objects never exceed the
duration of the region they are pasted into.
To paste into a region:
1 Select the object that you want to copy to the Clipboard to be pasted.
2 Press Command+C to copy or Command+X to cut your selection.
