Video Editing
Opening the Trim Editor/Basics
To open the Trim Editor, click the Open Trim Editor button on the Timeline’s toolbar (or F5).
The Playline automatically moves to the closest edit on an active Tr a c k . This edit and also edits on other
active Tr a c k s at the exact same timecode position are activated for trimming. Furthermore, yellow han-
dles appear in the mark-in and mark-out areas to be trimmed on the Timeline.
Note that the waveform display of audio clips slightly impairs the performance.
Trim operations in the Trim Editor are always in Film Style.
When displaying clips, the Trim Editor ignores realtime effects that were applied to the clips to be
trimmed. The inlays show the original video. We recommend that you first trim the clips precisely and
then apply the effects.
Elements of the Trim Editor
The following are the most important functions and elements of the Tr im Editor :
Previewing the Edit

Inlays
The Trim Editor consists of the left and right video inlay. The left inlay shows the mark-out of the outgo-
ing clip; the right inlay, the mark-in of the incoming clip.
Timecode Displays below Inlay
The two timecode indicators below the video inlays show the current shift in the mark-in/mark-out since
the edit point was selected. This indicator is reset to 00:00:00:00 with every new edit. For example, if you
shortened the outgoing clip by 15 frames, - 00:00:00:15 appears in the timecode indicator.
Timecode Displays above Inlay
The three timecode indicators above the video inlays provide the following information (from left to
right):
 current duration of outgoing clip
 timecode of editing point on the Timeline (master TC)
 current duration of the incoming clip
