Pro Tools 101_ An Introduction to Pro Tools 11 ( PDFDrive )

Pro Tools includes a number of editing commands that are specifically
geared toward working with audio and MIDI clips. The following sections
introduce commands for separating audio selections into two or more clips
and for restoring clips that have been separated.
The Separate Clip Command
Separating a clip is the process of breaking a clip in two or separating a
section of an original clip into a new clip.
You can separate a clip for one of several purposes:
▪ To split a clip into two separate clips at the insertion point. Use this
process to split the source clip into two new clips in the track, adding
both to the Clip List.
▪ To separate a selection from a parent clip or from the material on either
side of the selection. Use this process to separate a selection from its
source clip(s), creating new clips in the track and adding them to the Clip
List.
▪ To create multiple new clips from a selection, dividing the selection at
Grid intervals or at transients. Use this process to automatically create
clips based on a defined timing or based on audio events on the track.
