After your slate and tramlines have been generated, touch or click individual sections (right-click on Mac) to make edits. Slates and tramlines have separate edit menus.

Slate edit menu

Touch or click a slate (the small box at the top of a tramline) to display the slate toolbar:

• Rename — changes the slate's name or number. Text size adjusts to fit;
• Duplicate — makes an editable copy of the selected slate and lines;
• Delete — deletes the slate and all its lines;
• Move — opens a screen where you can drag the tramline to a new position on the page. For the full walkthrough, see How do I move slates left or right?;
• Lock / Unlock — locks or unlocks the slate to disable or enable editing.

Tramline edit menu

Touch or click a tramline (the line itself) to display the tramline toolbar:

• Line Type — choose between Straight, Squiggle, and Dirty;
• Split / Rejoin — opens the Split window for fine-grained coverage edits within dialogue or action. For the full walkthrough, see How do I split or rejoin lines?;
• Start — moves the entire slate to begin at the selected point;
• End Cam — ends the selected camera at the selected point;
• End All — ends all cameras at the selected point;
• Delete Cam — removes the selected camera from the slate;
• Cam Color — changes the color of the selected camera.
