Which command sequence consolidates final edits after Beat Detective?

• A. File > Save As
• B. Edit > Trim > To Clip Boundary
• C. Track > Freeze
• D. Menu > Edit > Consolidate or Shift+Option+3

Answer: (D)

Consolidating final edits after Beat Detective is about turning the edited pieces into a single continuous clip. Beat Detective can create multiple edits across a region, and consolidating merges those edits into one clip so they behave as one unit during playback and further edits. Use the Consolidate command from the Edit menu, or the keyboard shortcut Shift+Option+3 (Mac) or Shift+Alt+3 (Windows). Consolidation renders the selected regions on the track into one clip, removing the internal boundaries and making the edit easier to manage as a single piece, with consistent timing and the ability to apply fades or moves cleanly. The other options don’t achieve this: saving as copies the session file, trimming to a clip boundary only adjusts ends without merging, and freezing a track renders a frozen version rather than consolidating clips.
