Moving Automation Events

To move a selected automation event, click it and drag to the left or to the right.

To restrict the direction of the movement, press Ctrl/Cmd and drag.

To move a selection of automation events, click inside the selection rectangle, and drag to the left or to the right.

If you made a continuous selection of automation events, events at the destination range are overwritten. However, if you move the same selection range past existing events, they appear again. If a selection range contains automation events that are deselected, dragging is restricted. You cannot move this selection past existing events.

To copy a continuous selection of automation events, click inside the selection rectangle, hold down Alt/Opt, and drag to the left or to the right.
