In addition to start and end, some edits require additional edit points. These

points are usually referred to as the From and To points. From and To points

are used in conjunction with Start and End points. Most edits that involve

moving or copying audio to a different track or a different time will require a

From and a To point.

When performing this type of edit, Start and End points are used to select the

portion of the track that will be moved or copied whereas From and To points

are used to determine how and where that portion of the track will be moved

to. In other words, the To point is simply a destination for the material

between Start and End. The From point is a location between Start and End

that will line up with the To point after the edit is made. For most edits, the

From point will be the same as the Start point.

If you have a key reference point (e.g., the downbeat of a measure, a sound

effect, etc.) that is not at the beginning of the section you want to edit, you

can use the From point to align that reference point with the desired time. For

example, let’s say you want to copy the lead vocal from the first chorus to the

second chorus but the vocalist starts singing a little before the chorus actually

starts. The example below shows how to use the From and To effectively to

achieve the proper edit.
