■ THE AUDIO TOOL
Extract/Splice Mode
The Extract/Splice button (see Figure 4.25) is located to the left of the Lift/Overwrite
button and is colored yellow. The Extract/Splice button works much like Lift/Overwrite,
but it handles both the Timeline source and destination differently, extracting selected
media from its current location and splicing it to a selected location.

Juxtaposing Clips
You can juxtapose clips quickly on the Timeline using the Extract/Splice button. For
example, let’s say you have a sequence with animals: a brown bear, a penguin, and a
panda. The director likes the sequence so far, but requests that the brown bear and panda
go first and second, leaving the penguin as the third shot in the sequence. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Select Extract/Splice.
2. Ctrl-click/F-click the penguin.
3. Drag the penguin clip so that it snaps to the first frame of video beyond the
panda clip (see Figure 4.26). Notice that there is no space opened up where the
penguin shot used to be, but rather the brown bear and the panda shots are now
adjacent to each other, edited together.

You can move a single clip or multiple consecutive clips by using this process.
Note: Be sure to turn off segment-editing tools before continuing to edit in a standard way.Otherwise,
when you click and drag on the Timeline,it could damage your sequence.The Timeline editing tools are toggle
on/off.Click a selected button and it turns segment editing off.
