Changing the Duration of Clips in the Timeline

Clips are represented in the Timeline as horizontal bars within tracks. The length of the

bar represents the clip item’s duration. The beginning and end of the bar represent the

clip’s In and Out points. You can drag the beginning or end of the clip to change the

clip’s duration, right in the Timeline. As you move your pointer over a clip, the pointer

changes from an arrow (around the center of the clip) to a Resize pointer (at either the

beginning or the end of the clip).
