{% endhint %}

## Set Start

Use this command to set the selected track(s) start time to the current time. To use this feature, first move the current time to where you want, then select Set Start to apply it to the selected tracks.

{% endhint %}

## Go to End

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **O** to jump to the end time of the selected track(s).
{% endhint %}

## Set End

Sets the end time of the selected track(s) to the current time. To use this feature, first set the current time to where you want, then select Set End.

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **Alt + O** to set the end time for the selected track(s).
{% endhint %}

## Join Tracks

This combines the selected track segments into one. Tracks do not have to be touching. Any gaps between track sections are filled in creating one solid track.

Other track sections not selected in the operation are unaffected.</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **Control + J** to join selected tracks.
{% endhint %}

## Split Tracks

This uses the playhead (current time) to slice through the selected tracks, cutting it into two parts which can then be moved separately. &#x20;

Drag the track or start and end handles to adjust each new section.</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **Control + Shift + J** to split tracks at the current time.
{% endhint %}

## Split Tracks by Work Area

This splits the selected tracks at the [work area](../../timeflow-view/toolbar/work-area) start and end times. This is a useful way to slice a section of time matching the work area.

<figure><img src="https://2067910529-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FC3dOuetlQfYgK5FPUKgn%2Fuploads%2FCAec1dsyZg3w2eZ6d0rn%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=421e6bdc-8188-42b6-82c1-50818be452cc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use the keyboard shortcut **Control + Alt + Shift + J** to split tracks by work area.
{% endhint %}

## Set Track to Work Area

This sets the selected tracks to match the current work area. This may result in overwriting other track segments if any are inside the range. Any other unselected track sections out of range are not affected.

## Reset Selected Track

This resets the selected tracks to their default state, which is a single track that [automatically matches the full duration](../../../timeflow-view/tracks#auto-full-length) of the Timeflow. This also resets the object's time offset to 0 and locks the track from further changes.

## Drag Time Offset

This is a toggle switch to switch track modes between being dragged independently or linked with the object's [Time Offset](../../../timeflow-editor/update-settings#time-offset). If enabled, the menu shows a checkmark and dragging the track affects the object's time offset. Note that this settings is per object and affects all track sections. Please see the documentation on [Drag Time Offset](../../../timeflow-editor/update-settings#drag-time-offset) for more information.
