In the time domain, Cinelerra offers many ways to approach the editing process. The three main methods are

<h4><a name="Drag_And_Drop_Editing"> </a><a name="_Drag_And_Drop_Editing_"> </a> <a class="twikiLink" href="DragAndDropEditing">Drag And Drop Editing</a> </h4>
<h4><a name="Cut_And_Paste_Editing"> </a><a name="_Cut_And_Paste_Editing_"> </a> <a class="twikiLink" href="CutAndPasteEditing">Cut And Paste Editing</a> </h4>
<p />
<a class="twikiLink" href="Editing">Editing</a> decisions never affect source material. This is non destructive editing and it became popular with audio because it was much faster than if you had to copy all the media affected by an edit.
Editing only affects pointers to source material, so if you want to have a media file at the end of your editing session which represents the editing decisions, you need to <a class="twikiLink" href="Rendering">Render</a> it
<p />
<ul>

</li>
<li> why to edit
</li>
<li> planning the edit
</li>
</ul>
<p />
Editing comprises both the time domain and the <a class="twikiLink" href="MediaTrack">track</a> domain. Since the timeline consists of a stack of <span class="twikiNewLink" style="background : #FFFFCE;"><font color="#0000FF">tracks</font><a href="http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/edit/Cinelerra/Tracks?topicparent=Cinelerra.Editing"><sup>?</sup></a></span>, you need to worry about how to sort and create tracks in addition to what time certain media appears on a track. The timeline is where all editing decisions are represented. This is a stack of tracks in the center of the main window. It can be scrolled up, down, left and right with the scrollbars on the right and bottom of it. It can also be scrolled up and down with a mouse wheel.
<p />
The active region is the range of time which is affected by editing commands on the timeline. The active region is determined first by the presence of <a class="twikiLink" href="InOutPoint">InOutPoints</a> in the timeline. If those don't exist the highlighted region is used. If no highlighted region exists the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> is used as the start of the active region. Some commands treat all the space to the right of the <a class="twikiLink" href="InsertionPoint">InsertionPoint</a> as active, like Render, while others treat the active length as 0 if no end point for the active region is defined.
<p />
Every track on the timeline has a set of <a class="twikiLink" href="PatchBay">attributes</a> on the left, the most important of which is the arm track attribute.
