## What it is

Each kept stretch of your recording is a clip on the Clips lane, above the waveform. Split, trim and delete them with a few keys, and the rest slides together.

Any clip can play from 0.5× to 8×. Faster or slower clips are muted so your clicks never squeak; at 1× you can mute a clip’s sound on its own.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Split
    
    Move the playhead and press ⌘B to split the clip there.
    
2.  2
    
    Trim
    
    Press Q to trim from the clip’s start to the playhead, or W from the playhead to its end. You can also drag a clip’s edge.
    
3.  3
    
    Delete
    
    Select a clip and press ⌫. The rest slides together.
    
4.  4
    
    Change the speed
    
    Select a clip and pick a speed from 0.5× to 8× in the Clip section, or right-click the clip.
    

## Tips

-   Redo auto edit keeps all your hand edits.
-   ⌘Z undoes, ⇧⌘Z redoes.

## Questions

Why is a sped-up clip silent?

Clips that play faster or slower are muted so clicks don’t squeak. At 1× the sound plays as recorded.

Will auto edit undo my cuts?

No. Your splits, trims and deletes are kept when the auto edit runs again.
