Editor Panels

Editor Panels are floating tool panels that appear when you right-click on Clips or Songs. They provide a richer editing interface than the application menus, with visual sliders, a color picker, a filter editor, and inline text input for precise values.

Opening an Editor Panel​

To open an Editor Panel, right-click on any Clip thumbnail or Song in the Controller Window:

The panel appears at your cursor position with all available options for the selected item.

Editing Multiple Items​

You can edit multiple Clips or Songs at once. Select multiple items first, then right-click any one of them to open the Editor Panel.

To select multiple items:

  • Hold ⇧ (Shift) and click to select a range.
  • Hold ⌘ and click to add or remove individual items from the selection.

When multiple items are selected, the Editor Panel shows only the options that are common to all selected items. If a value differs across the selection, it displays as Mixed.

For more on selecting Clips, see Adding Clips. For Songs, see Adding Songs.

Subpanels​

Some options open a subpanel to the side of the Editor Panel when you hover over them. Subpanels provide richer controls:

  • Sliders for continuous values like volume, speed, and fade times. Click the displayed value to type a precise number.
  • Radio selectors for choosing from a list of options like loop type or fit mode.
  • Filter editor for toggling and adjusting multiple visual filters at once.
  • Color picker for choosing colors with the system color picker, entering hex values, or selecting from presets.

Double-click a slider to reset it to its default value.

Editor Panels vs. Menus​

The same Clip and Song options are available through the Clip Menu and Song Menu in the menu bar. However, Editor Panels offer finer control:

  • Continuous sliders instead of preset increments — set speed to 1.37x, not just 1x or 2x.
  • Inline text input — click any slider value to type an exact number, even beyond the slider range.
  • Full color picker — use the system color picker or enter any CSS color value, instead of choosing from a preset list.
  • Visual filter editing — enable, adjust, and combine filters with individual sliders, rather than toggling them on and off.

For a quick change, the menus work fine. For precise adjustments, use the Editor Panels.
