Video Editing
Timeline Edit Functions
The toolbar is located at the top of the Timeline and contains buttons for navigating on the Timeline and
playing, marking and processing clips and Sequences. This toolbar can be customized like any other Avid
Liquid toolbar. (See also “Customizing Toolbars” on page 990.)
Edit Button
Click this button to activate the Edit Mode of the mouse cursor. This mode permits you to access ele-
ments on the Timeline so that you can, for example, select, trim and delete objects.
Press the ALT key to temporarily switch between cursor Edit Mode and scrub mode.
When the Edit Mode is deactivated, you can scrub the Playline with the cursor.
To scr ub o n the Timeline when the Edit Mode is activated, drag the mouse pointer on the Timecode Bar.
Add Edit (Razor Cut)
Adds a cut to all active Tra c k s at the current position of the Playline. Adding a cut splits the affected clips
into two separate clips with new mark-in and mark-out points.
The Picons at the new mark-in and mark-out points are updated automatically
Trash
Deletes a range between the mark-in and mark-out points (only on active Tra c ks ). See also page 419.
Toggle Edit Style
Click this button to toggle between Overwrite Style and Film Style. Film Style is indicated by a yellow icon,
Overwrite Style by a red icon. See also page 378.
If you work with the Single Monitor View layout, you’ll probably find these two tools useful: Insert to
Timeline in either Film Style or Overwrite Style.
Double-Click a Clip
Double-click a clip on the Timeline to open the Clip Viewer with the extended dialog.
