To clear (remove) a clip from the Timeline:
1. Select a clip (or a period of time) on the Timeline.
2. Click Edit: Clear [
Notes:
•
This does not affect the source files in any way.
•
If clearing a period of time, any clips that are included in the time selection are
removed. (Clips partially selected are trimmed to the selection boundary.)
•
If you do not want to create an empty clip or time slot, make sure that the Single-
Track or Multi-Track Ripple Editing button on the Timeline toolbar is selected (see
page 146). The next time you use the Clear command any following clips will move
backward to the left to occupy the vacated space.
Snapping to clips
Snapping helps to place clips together precisely and effortlessly. Select
Edit: Snap to make clips snap to the edge of other clips, transitions, and
even project cues (for more on cues, see page 140).
Splitting the audio from video clips
Video clips commonly also have audio. On the Timeline, the accompanying
audio clip is placed into the corresponding audio track (Va with Aa, Vb with
Ab) and the two clips are locked together as a unit. To delete or move either
of the clips separately, the two must first be split. This is useful when you
are creating a music video and the audio track is not needed. You will also
need to split the audio from a video clip in order to perform a freeze frame
effect (see page 138) or to change the speed of a clip (see the next page).
To split the audio from video clips:
1. Select the clip.
2. Click Clip: Split (or right-click a selected clip and, from the pop-up
menu, select Split).
Note: To reunite clips select Unite. For the two clips to be successfully reunited they
need to be of exactly the same duration and in corresponding positions in the
Timeline. This command is therefore usually limited to clips that were previously
joined and then split.
