Rearranging Content

There are various ways in which you can rearrange scenes and frames within your smoovie.

First, select the items you wish to work with by doing one of the following:

  1. To select a single item: Click on the item either in the Scene List or Frame List.
  2. To select consecutive items: Click the first item then hold down the Shift key (⇧) while you click the last item.
  3. To select non-consecutive items: Hold down the Command key (⌘) while clicking on the items you want.

Cut, Copy and Paste

Selected items can be put on the clipboard using Edit > Copy or Edit > Cut. Items that are cut will be permanently removed from your smoovie unless they are subsequently pasted to a new location.

Generally, pasting items will insert those items in the clipboard immediately below the currently selected items in the Scene List to Frame List. However, selecting a scene and pasting frames will insert those frames at the start of the scene.

To create a new scene from frames on the clipboard:

  1. Select Edit > Paste As New Item.

Drag and Drop

Within the Scene List or Frame List, items can be reordered by dragging and dropping as follows:

  1. Select the item or items you wish to move and then, still holding down the mouse button, drag to the new position. You can either drop the items between existing ones or on top of another item. The results of the drag and drop will depend on the items being dragged and the drop location as follows:
    1. Dropping scenes between other scenes will place them between those scenes.
    2. Dropping scenes on top of another scene will place them immediately below that scene.
    3. Dropping frames between other frames will place them between those frames.
    4. Dropping frames on top of another frame will place them immediately below that frame.
    5. Dropping frames between two scenes will create a new scene at that location.
    6. Dropping frames onto another scene will place those frames at the beginning of that scene.
    7. Scenes cannot be dropped on the Frame List.

In all of the above cases holding the Option (⌥) key down will copy the original items to the destination instead of moving them.

Duplicate

Selected items can be duplicated by using Edit > Duplicate. Duplicated items will be inserted immediately below the last selected item in your list.
