A faster way to add clips to your edit is by dragging them from the media pool and dropping
them directly onto the timeline where you can adjust your in and out points, position your clips,
try different plug in effects, titles, and more. This particular workflow is like using the timeline as
an artist's palette.

Trimming Clips

When editing clips you'll want to trim them to include only the specific actions you want in each
shot. There are various ways, but the easiest is to adjust the clips' in and out points on
the timeline:
1 After adding clips to your timeline, hover your mouse pointer over the start of a clip until
the pointer becomes a 'trim' icon.
2 When the 'trim' icon appears, click on the start of your clip and drag it forwards or
backwards to trim the in point. Watch the timeline monitor as you trim to find the
edit point.
3 Now click and drag the end of your clip to adjust the out point.
