What Rearrange clips actually does
Reordering is the one audio job where the list order is the output, and a comma separated string of ranges hides that completely. This workspace makes each clip a row that can be moved earlier or later, with the waveform showing where every clip comes from. The clips are extracted through a lossless intermediate and joined in list order, optionally with a crossfade, so the exported file follows the arrangement on screen.
How to use it
- Choose an audio file and review the waveform.
- Add one clip per section and set its bounds by dragging, by keyboard, or by typing.
- Move clips earlier or later until the row order matches the arrangement wanted.
- Set a crossfade if the joins should be smoothed.
- Run to build the joined file locally and download it.
Useful for
- Moving an answer before its question in an interview edit.
- Assembling a highlight reel from one long recording.
- Building a rough arrangement from takes inside a single file.
Limits worth knowing
- Clip order is the output order; the list is never sorted by time, which is what separates this from every other region tool here.
- A crossfade longer than the shortest clip is reduced to half that clip's length.
- The same passage can appear more than once, and each appearance is extracted separately.
Questions people ask
Can a clip be used twice?
Yes. Add it as two rows; each is extracted and placed independently.
Does the order follow the waveform?
No. The row order is the output order, so a later passage can be placed first.
What does the crossfade do at the joins?
It overlaps each pair of neighbouring clips for the chosen number of seconds instead of butting them together.
