Protected and Inactive Tracks
Protected Tr a c k s and inactive Tra c k s are handled differently during trimming (see also Trimming with the
Trim Editor on page 464):
 If all Tr a c k s are protected or edit-inactive, no edit is available. The Playline remains at its current
position when you open the Trim Editor.
 If more than one Tra c k is edit-active, when you open the Tr im Editor the Playline moves to the
next edit and deactivates all other Tra c k s for the current trim.
 If you open the Trim Editor, then switch an edit-inactive Tr ac k to edit-active, the closest edit on
that Track is selected for trimming. The other Tra c k s are set edit-inactive.
Selecting a Trim Mode
When the Trim Editor is opened it is initially in Trim Both mode. Two other modes are also available:
Trim Outgoing Clip and Tr im Incoming Clip.
In the Trim Editor window, a bar below the inlays shows which of the clips is activated for trimming. In
the default setting (Trim B oth) a bar appears under both inlays.
 Trim B oth means that both the mark-out of the outgoing clip and the mark-in of the incoming
clip are trimmed. This is also indicated by the yellow handles in the mark-in and mark-out areas
of the clips.
To select one of the three trim modes:
 Trim Outgoing Clip: Click the outgoing clip in the left video inlay.
 Trim Incoming Clip: Click the incoming clip in the right video inlay.
 Trim B oth : Click the area between the video inlays to select both the outgoing and incoming clips.
You can also activate the trimming points on the Timeline by clicking a mark-in or mark-out point.
