5.6.6. Changing the boundaries of an existing selection
Document Actions
By selection
In the timeline viewer, go through these steps:
Click on an annotation unit to select it.
Select the region where you want the modified annotation to be placed.
Right click on the original annotation and select or press CTRL+ENTER
Now the length of the annotation becomes that of the selection from the second step.
By dragging the mouse
If you press ALT, the active annotation is indicated in green and becomes adjustable with the mouse:
drag in the middle of the annotation and drop it somewhere else to move it
drag and drop the borders to change the boundaries of the annotation unit

Only the time-alignment of annotations on the following types of tiers can be modified: annotations on independent tiers, and annotations on referring tiers that fall under the Time Subdivision stereotype (but note that in the latter case, the alignment cannot be extended beyond the boundaries of its parent annotation, see Section 5.1). To modify the time alignment of annotations on all other tiers, change the time alignment on the corresponding parent tier (following the steps above). The time alignment on all referring tiers is automatically updated. The annotations on the referring tier that are no longer within the borders of the annotation on the parent tier are discarded. If you want to shift the annotations on a referring tier in the same way as the annotation on the parent, use the methods described in Section 5.6.7. |
By entering a number of milliseconds
Annotations can be shifted to the left or the right by a number of milliseconds. See Section 5.6.7.
