project. You can arrange regions in the timeline by cutting, copying, and pasting them;
by moving, resizing, and looping them; and by splitting and joining them. You can
define sections of a project using arrange regions, then use them to quickly rearrange
the project. You can also edit regions in the editor in a variety of ways.
