When working with events in the Chopper, you can drop markers and create regions just like in the track view. For more information, see

These markers and regions are saved with the project when it is saved. They can also be saved back to the original media file by clicking

the Save File button ( 

) in the Track Properties window. For more information, see 

After you place a file in the Chopper, you can use the toolbar, transport bar, and mouse (or their keyboard equivalents) to create and 
preview selections within the file. When have made the selection you want, you can insert the selection into the track view.
