Trimming a clip

The best part of editing your movie on your computer is the ease
with which you can snip and trim your work with frame by frame
accuracy.
To trim a clip from the Timeline:
1. Click a clip in the Timeline to
select it.
2. Drag the yellow Trim handles
on either side of the clip to
change its length. The Preview
Window reflects the position of
the Trim handle in the clip.
Or, click the timecode in the
Duration box in the Options
Panel and enter the desired clip
length.
3. Other clips in your project
automatically reposition
themselves according to
changes made.
It is most convenient to use the Trim Bar in adjusting your clips.
This is the green bar beneath the Preview Window which represents
the selected portion of a clip. If the clip has not been trimmed, the
green bar extends along the entire length.
To trim a clip with the Trim Bar:
1. Select a clip from the Timeline
or the Library.
2. Click and drag a Trim handle
to set the trim position.
3. Hold down [Shift] and click
Play Clip to selectively play
only the trimmed portion of
the clip.
Trim handles
Note: Changes made in the Video
duration box only affect the Mark
out point. The Mark in point
remains unchanged.
Tip: To split a clip into two, you
can use the Jog Bar to set the point
where to cut the clip. Then, click
Split Video (i.e., the scissors icon).
