and marking all objects within the rectangle (”elastic band selection”) by
left-click-dragging.

Any object can be combined with others to make up a group, to avoid the objects
being unintentionally moved out of relation to each other. Once they are combined,
clicking on one object of a group will select the entire group. To group or ungroup
objects, use the buttons in the tool bar or the corresponding commands in the "Edit"
menu.

Tip: You can modify the color of a selected object in its context menu in order to
mark it and make it easier to locate. Right-click on an object to open the context
menu, then select a color for the object.

Move Objects

Hold down the mouse button to move selected objects to any tracks and positions via
drag and drop. It is recommended to place objects that belong together on
neighboring tracks and to create separate tracks for audio and video objects. For this
reason, videos that should overlay each other should usually be placed on the same
track.

If the Shift key is pressed, objects can be moved from one track to another, without
the time position being changed.

Cutting objects

All objects can be split. Each object section then becomes an independent object:
1. Select the object to be cut.
2. Position the playback marker at the position where the movie is to be cut.
3. Click on "Cut" (view page 65) button or select the "Cut" option in the
"Edit" > "Split scene" menu.

Note: If the commands "Split scene" and "Remove beginning/end" are applied
without a selection, all objects at the position of the playback marker are cut.

Tip: You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on how to remove (view page
27) unusable scenes from video material in the "Quick start" chapter of the print
manual.

There are three options for joining split objects:
• Click on the undo button in the lower toolbar (view page 61). This will work only
directly after applying the split command.
