Smart Trim
The trimming procedures described on the preceding pages are completely non-
destructive and do not affect the original source files in any way. While this is a
major advantage to editing video on a computer, there may be times where,

files according to your edits.
In the Project menu, select Smart: Smart Trim. In the dialog box that opens,
you can select the clip or clips that you want to permanently alter.

function available from the Production Library toolbar.
