Are there any shortcut keys to move tracks?

PostSat Sep 24, 2022 9:54 am

I'd like to know if there is any way to move an audio or video track vertically without having to right-click the track and select to move it up or down?

I'm on a Mac and I know I can move clips to different tracks using option + arrow keys but how to move the tracks? Right-clicking multiple times on the context menu is time consuming especially when moving over multiple tracks.

I don't think this feature exists, nor does dragging to reorder the tracks. This is desperately needed. I had a lot of time to think about this yesterday when I had to move track 1 to above track 9.

At least in the Fairlight page you can drag tracks around in the Tracklist of the index pane.

Thanks for the response. Ashame.... such a basic fundamental task yet only exists in the Fairlight section. :(
I hope the developers and staff seriously consider implementing this into the Edit area.

I had no idea you could do this, but you probably just saved me a whole day of my time cumulatively over the next year or so.

But also it's ridiculous that you can't drag the tracks around in the main Fairlight panel. I could never have discovered this on my own. (Why would I assume you could reorder tracks by dragging them in a tiny side menu when you can't in the main place you would want to?)
