Test clips can be rearranged on the timeline of a test composition and moved from one track to another by simple drag and drop.

The start offset of a test clip can be changed using drag and drop. Additionally, the start offset can be changed in the lower panel of the SOASTA CloudTest Composition Editor. Select the test clip whose start offset you want to change. Select the “Properties” tab in the lower panel of the SOASTA CloudTest Composition Editor. You will then see an input box labeled “Start Offset”. After you update the value, press the “Enter” key to make the start offset change.

The playback duration of a non-sequenced test clip can be changed using drag and drop. Mouse over the right-most edge of the test clip until the cursor becomes the resize icon. Single-click the right-most edge and drag the mouse to the left to shorten the test clip playback, or to the right to lengthen.
