Shift Cues in the Event Table

Step 1: Select the first cue

Click the event number of the first cue you want to shift in the Event Table.

Step 2: Select the last cue

Hold Shift and click the event number of the last cue you want to shift. This highlights all cues in between.

Tip:

Hold Shift while clicking your final cue to select multiple cues. Using Shift + Down Arrow won’t keep all cues selected when editing.

Step 3: Right-click and select Shift Cues

Right-click anywhere on the selected cues and choose Shift Cues.

Step 4: Enter the time adjustment

Type the number of seconds you want to shift all cues. To move cues backward in time, add a minus sign (-) before the number. For example, typing -60 moves all selected cues back one minute.

Step 5: Review your shifted cues

Check the Event Table to confirm the new timing has been applied.

Shift Cues in the Waveform

Hold Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and click the first cue you want to shift. The selected cue will highlight in red.

Step 2: Select additional cues

Continue holding Control or Command and click each additional cue you want to move. This lets you select non-contiguous cues.

Step 3: Drag the group of cues

Click and drag the selected cues left or right to adjust their timing.

Step 4: Review your shifted cues

Review the waveform to confirm the new cue positions.
