To open an audio clip item from the Timeline:
1
Do one of the following:
 Double-click an audio clip item in your sequence.
If the audio clip item is linked to other items, all of the clip items are opened in the
Viewer in separate tabs. If the audio clip item is part of a stereo pair, the stereo clip
item appears in a Stereo tab in the Viewer. Otherwise, it appears in a Mono tab.
 Drag a clip item from your sequence to the Viewer.
 Move the Canvas or Timeline playhead over the clip item you want to open, then
press the Return key.
