Move multiple clips so they line up to the left

Nuendo
1

Hello,

I use Nuendo 15 for voice-over and dubbing (no music).

I have multiple dialogue clips scattered on a track. I want to move them all to the left so they just line up consecutively, one after the other, at the beginning of the timeline.

  • I do not want to use the Glue tool (clips must stay separate).

  • I do not want to fill the silence or stretch the audio.

I heard about a “Shuffle” mode for this, but I can’t find it in my interface. How can I make them line up consecutively easily?

Thank you!

Shuffle-Mode is in the Snap-Menu:


If Shuffle-Mode is active select all events on track and move the first to the desired position, all others will follow and close gaps:

You could also use edit–> functions–> set spacer between selected events, but the minimum distance would be 0.001 sec.:

Hi,

This is the macro you need. Assign a key command to it and it will move one event every time you press it. You need to start with the first event selected on the desired track:

Perhaps you can chain the commands inside the macro to make it move N events on each press, but I haven’t tested for that.

Enjoy!

EDIT: oh, just saw that shuffle mode works very well exactly for this! haha
Well, it was a good brain workout anyways. =)
