Edit menu
This menu contains familiar commands such as Undo, Cut, Copy, and Paste and also contains
commands to select and delete objects, modify project properties, and control the Motion
spelling checker.
•
Undo: Restores the project to the state prior to the action previously taken. This command is
usually followed by the name of the last command performed (Undo Move or Undo Rotation
Change, for example). If the menu item is dimmed, you cannot undo. (Command-Z)
•
Redo: Performs the action that was previously undone. This command is usually followed by
the name of the last command performed (Redo Move or Redo Rotation Change, for example).
It is only active if one or more actions have been undone. (Shift-Command-Z)
•
Cut: Removes the selection and stores it on the Clipboard so it can be pasted later.
(Command-X)
•
Copy: Copies the selection and stores it on the Clipboard so it can be pasted later.
(Command-C)
•
Paste: Adds the current Clipboard selection to the project based on the current selection. This
command is not available if nothing is on the Clipboard or if the contents of the Clipboard
cannot be pasted to the current selection—for example, text cannot be pasted onto a
keyframe. (Command-V)
•
Paste Special: Gives you the choice to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the active
Timeline by inserting (pushing existing objects out of the way) or exchanging or overwriting
(replacing existing objects with the selected object). Additional options are available. For more
information, see
Copy and paste objects on page 274. (Option-Command-V)
•
Duplicate: Makes a copy of the current selection and immediately adds it to the project.
(Command-D)
•
Delete: Removes the current selected object, leaving a gap in the Timeline. (Delete)
•
Ripple Delete: Removes the selected object and closes the gap in the Timeline. (Shift-Delete)
•
Insert Time: Adds blank space into the Timeline. You can use Insert Time only after selecting a
time region in the Timeline ruler. For more information on regions, see
Work with regions on
page 284.
•
Split: Breaks an object into two objects, each on its own Timeline track. The split occurs at the
current playhead position. If no object is selected, or the playhead is not positioned over a
selected object, this menu item is dimmed.
