Editor
Description
Opens the clip's media in your selected audio editor.
After you have edited and saved the file, ACID automatically detects the updated file and updates the events in the project.
However, if you change the media file’s name or location (by using Save As), you must import the edited (new) file into your
project.
Note:
When you edit a clip in an external editor, audio, MIDI, and external control hardware is released regardless of the
Close audio and MIDI ports when ACID is not the active application check box setting (for more information, see Using
the General tab on page 254.). The ports are re-enabled when focus is restored to ACID.
Edit Source
Project
If a clip's media was created from an ACID project and rendered with the project path reference in the file, this command
opens the source project in a new ACID window.
If you render the edited file using the same file name and location as the track's original media, your project will automatically
be updated to use the latest rendered media file.
