Split Clip at Selection Keybinding?

Oh, I also want to set a keybinding to launch Melodyne which is in my Utilities menu. Again, am I blind, or....????

S splits the clip at the now time. Split at selection is a menu item that splits the clip on both sides of where it is selected.

AFAIK, there are no ¨split at selection¨ key binding (but I may be wrong), I remember I checked for that a long time ago . 

What I do. (and doing it multiple times, you'll get fast, as an acceptable compromise)

1- use region tool to select region (or use the highest half of a clip with the smart tool)
2- right-click to display contextual menu
2- press S (split menu appears)
3- select SPLIT TO SELECTION
4- press enter 

this is for the first time in a session, next time you'll need the same function, the SPLIT TO SELECTION will be selected in the split menu automatically (unless you change it for other purposes)

so next time it will be 

select region -- rightclick--- S---Enter 


Not as convenient as a single keystroke... but you can get what you need in 3 ... 

Hope that helps !

If you want to split where you click, just hold down the alt key. No need to press 's'

Thats hot- Alt rocks

Oh ... damn I'm so sorry !! 


That's what happens when I try to say thanks ... i'll never do that again !

Is there a way to make the Now Time follow where you click anywhere on a clip in X1?

That way s would work to split where we clicked-

This is one of my 'pet' complaints with the Smarttool... Now we have to click twice before you can split... Yes, I know that I can alt-s to split but that doesn't allow me to set the point first... it executes before I'm certain where I want to split... So I'm forced to locate in the upper clip area, then click again in the bottom area to select the clip, and finally s to split...

Occassionally I can use the alt-s when my cut doesn't need to be as accurate, but that's not often for me... I'm very particular about the location of my edits....

As I almost never use the click-drag to highlight in the upper clip area, I wish I could disable that function and have my old locate and selct in a single click! <sigh>...

If you click and have 'now time', isn't now later,......, than now?

clicking           and having now time follow would solve it yes?

Not quite... It does that now in the upper half of a clip, but it doesn't select the clip as well... For that you must follow the first click (locates the now time) then the lower half of the clip to select the clip...

In previous incarnations of Sonar, a single click anywhere in the clip did both. It set the now time as well as selected the clip.... I would love to have the option to toggle the click-drag function of the upper-clip area in smarttool to single-click sets now time and selects clip. I have far more constant need of that than I do the drag function currently supported...

to single-click sets now time and selects clip.

Keni, this probably isn't perfect but may speed things up a little for you.

In the TV Options menu if you set "Click Behaviour->Right click sets Now" when you right click you set the now time and select the clip. Press ESC gets rid of the context menu that has popped up and leaves the clip selected, or of course select "split" from the menu, if you want to do it straight away.

Works anywhere in the clip, top or bottom.
