Arranging Video Material
■ Changing the Length of Material
When video material is too long, you can remove excess portions and extract just the portion you need.
To keep what you require and cut away what you don't, you need to decide on the point where material
use starts (the In point) and the point where material use ends (the Out point). You can use the portion
between the In point and the Out point in editing.
* When no In point and Out point have been set explicitly, the In point is set at the beginning of the material and the
Out point at the end.
