No "slide" edit with mouse?

[moshuajusic]

I coulda sworn I did this the other day, but maybe I'm thinking of Reaper.

Drag a clip's content within its boundaries. It's called slip editing in NLEs. PT calls this "sliding" and can do it with nudging. But is there a way to do it with the mouse? Could be faster and more accurate.

Of course - it's called Slip mode. Toggle edit modes with the ~ key. This is a very basic function of Pro Tools - I toggle modes all day long!

Not what I'm talking about. Hard to explain, so here's the equivalent in FCPX:

In the PT reference guide (for 2019.6) it's under "Nudging the Contents of a Clip" pg 661. Except I'd like to do that with the mouse, if possible.

I don't think you can do this with a mouse? I believe you have to set your nudge value, select your clip and use Control +/- to slide the contents within the boundaries.

Gotcha - Yeah doesn't look like there's a way to do that, but it's easy enough (for me, at least) to drag the clip and reset the boundaries.

Actually this function is a godsend for editing drums and adjust timing in general. I'm surprised most of the people is not aware of it.
In windows it's windows and -+ keys. Cubase is able to do it with the mouse.

I'd love that feature added.

It's WIN/Command +/- to use this feature. And PT allows nudge to the sample. You won't get more accurate with a mouse.

Emphasis on the "and" in "fast and accurate." I.e., simultaneously.

And zoomed in, mousing is plenty accurate.

That you can use the mouse for every type of edit except this is just...

No need to zoom in. Use the nudge. Mouse isn't more accurate than a sample.
