Trimming on the Timeline
First click the clip you want to trim. When the
mouse pointer nears the edit, it turns into an
arrow. You can now change the length of the clip.
Any gaps produced are immediately closed.
Activating Edit Mode
Make sure that the Edit Mode icon ( ) is yellow
and that the mouse pointer looks like this: (on
a clip) or this: (on an empty area of the Time-
line).
Trimming on the Timeline
1 Example: Position the mouse pointer on
the mark-in for a clip. Its shape changes
to: .
2 Left-click. The clip now has a red edge
(handle) if the Overwrite Style is acti-
vated or a yellow edge if the Film Style
is activated.
3 Drag the handle to the left or right. The
following happens:
๎ In Overwrite Style , this simply length-
ens or shortens the clip. Either a gap
opens up or other clips are overwritten.
๎ In Film Style , subsequent clips are
shifted. When you drag the mark-in, it
remains at its Timeline position.
Careful: the synchronicity of video and
audio clips can easily be lost. Make sure
that a video clip and its original audio
clip(s) all have yellow handles before you
trim.
11 Trimming Clips on the Timeline
The most important work of the editor is to trim the edits between clips: Each frame counts.
