This is a walkthrough of the Clip View panel in Ableton Live, covering the layout tricks that make editing clips faster once you know where to look. Drag the View handle left to switch tabs between horizontal and vertical arrangement, or drag it all the way to fold the Clip View entirely. Double clicking the clip's header does the same fold and unfold.
Expanding the Clip View vertically gives you more room to work on a clip's contents, and Command Option E on Mac (Ctrl Option E on PC) does this instantly without touching your mouse. Turning on Arrange Clip View Panels Automatically keeps tabs adjusting on their own as you resize the view, so you're not manually rearranging things every time.
In Vertical View, clicking the triangles folds or unfolds individual panels, and Option clicking folds or unfolds all of them at once. Arrow keys move you between Tool tabs, or use Option plus 1, 2, or 3 (Alt on PC) to jump straight to a specific one.
For audio clips, sample info sits in the header in Horizontal View but becomes its own tab in Vertical View. If it's just clutter for your workflow, the Context menu lets you hide it.
