Difficulty moving sound passages accurately

[vbl2007]

With so many different sounds on audio tracks, it is very difficult to move them vertically up and down accurately.
Is it possible in future versions to use the corresponding keys for this - the Up and Down arrows.

If you go into the Project Options Audio Tab (double Click the waveform in Timeline View) then you can easily move a clip to another Track by dragging & it will keep it's position.

Jill, Thanks a lot! I tried it - great!

Greetings,

I've had concerns about this issue, too. And, yes,it works...but not always.

Here is the original audio track. I want to move the audio track #2 to track #1, expecting it to move what is in track #1 to track #2.

 

But when I do it (as Jill suggests), the second part of the original track #2 disappears and its first section stays in track #2.

Seems like the area where you want to move the track to, in this case, has to be completely empty. So you have to be careful.

Gary, yes you do have to be careful & make sure that in Audio Tab you select all of the Clips you want to move.

If there are already Clips on the Track you are moving to, then again you have to make sure that you drop them into the correct place and that there is space for them.

If you want to move to a new Track, then add that Track first.

I find it is best to make sure that you Link Clips to a Slide first when you have multiple clips, so that any you are not moving to a new Track will stay in the correct position. You can always unlink them later if you need them to overlap.
