<p />
This is the traditional method of editing in audio editors. In the case of Cinelerra, you either need to start a second copy of Cinelerra and copy from one copy to the other, copy from different tracks in the same copy, or load a media file into the <a class="twikiLink" href="Viewer">Viewer</a> and copy from there.
<p />
To perform cut and paste editing 
<ul>
<li> <a class="twikiLink" href="LoadingFile">Load some files</a> onto the timeline.
</li>
<li> Select the <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_bar.png" alt="button_bar.png" /> <strong>i-beam toggle</strong>. 
</li>
<li> Select a region of the timeline and select the <img src="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_cut.png" alt="button_cut.png" /> <strong>cut button</strong> to cut it.
</li>
<li> Move the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> to another point in the timeline and select the <img src="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_paste.png" alt="button_paste.png" /> <strong>paste button.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<p />
Assuming no <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> <img src="../../../pub/Cinelerra/CinelerraImages/button_in_out.png" alt="button_in_out.png" /> points are defined on the timeline this performs a cut and paste operation.
<p />
If <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> are defined, the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> and highlighted region are overridden by the <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> points for clipboard operations. Thus, with <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> points you can perform cut and paste in drag and drop mode as well as cut and paste mode.
<p />
<h4><a name="Cutting_Pasting_Audio"> </a> Cutting &amp; Pasting  Audio  </h4>
When editing audio, it is customary to cut from one part of a waveform into the same part of another waveform. The start and stop points of the cut are identical in each waveform and might be offset slightly, while the wave data is different. It would be very hard to highlight one waveform to cut it and highlight the second waveform to paste it without changing the relative start and stop positions.
<p />
One option for simplifying this is to open a second copy of <strong>Cinelerra</strong>, cutting and pasting to transport media between the two copies. (<img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/pencil.gif" border="0" alt="REFACTOR" width="16" height="16" />This way two highlighed regions can exist simultanously.)
<p />
Another option is :
<ol>
<li> Set <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> points for the source region of the source waveform 
</li>
<li> Set <a class="twikiLink" href="LabelControl">labels</a> for the destination region of the destination waveform.
</li>
<li> Perform a cut, 
</li>
<li> Clear the <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> points 
</li>
<li> Select the region between the labels
</li>
<li> Perform a paste.
</li>
</ol>
<p />
<h4><a name="Notes_when_clearing_an_area"> </a><a name="_Notes_when_clearing_an_area"> </a> <img src="../../../pub/TWiki/TWikiDocGraphics/warning.gif" border="0" alt="ALERT!" width="16" height="16" /> Notes when clearing an area </h4>
A final operation in cut and paste editing is the <a class="twikiLink" href="EditMenu">EditMenu</a> -&gt;clear operation. If a region is highlighted or <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">in/out</a> points exist, the affected region is cleared by <a class="twikiLink" href="EditMenu">EditMenu</a> -&gt;clear. But if the insertion point is over an edit boundary and the edits on each side of the edit boundary are the same resource, the edits are combined into one edit comprised by the resource. The start of this one edit is the start of the first edit and the end of this one edit is the end of the second edit. This either results in the edit expanding or shrinking.
