Chapter 9 Edit
If there is insufficient material to work with, Extend is only carried out to the extent allowed by the exist-
ing clip data. If mark in and
mark out points are set, the last point to be set is taken into account.
Slide Tool
The Slide function allows you to move one or more clips on a Tr a c k without resulting in gaps to the left or
right of the clip or clips. In other words, this function trims the mark out point of the clip located before
the selection and the mark in point of clips located after the selection. You can activate the Slide function
as follows:
1 Mark the clip or clips using the Lasso function or using CTRL+click or SHIFT+click.
2 Activate the Slide function by clicking on the icon, or call the function from the Customize list
(right mouse-click on the toolbar of the Timeline or Master Viewer). If the function is not located
on the toolbar, you can retrieve it from the function library using the Customize command.
3 Use the mouse to drag the clip or clips to the desired position. You can also use the keyboard to
trim the clip (
CTRL + LEFT ARROW/RIGHT ARROW).
Deleting Objects
When deleting objects, note the Edit Style:
 Overwrite Style -
deleting an object does not affect the other objects on that Tr a c k . The deleted object just leaves a
gap in the Tr a c k equal in size to its duration (page 379).
 Film Style -
elements later on the Tr a c k ripple forward to fill in the gap left by the deleted object(s);
see page 380
Tra n s it i on s are deleted from the Timeline without affecting any other objects or leaving gaps.
Timeline objects are removed from the Timeline only; deleting them does not affect Media Files or objects
in the Project.
Delete Single Object
To delete an object from the Timeline, first mark it and then press the DEL key or select Delete from the
shortcut menu.
Delete Several Objects
To select more than one object, CTRL+click or SHIFT+click the objects or drag a Lasso around them.
Once selected, you can use the
DELETE key to delete the selected objects. All Tr a n s i t i o n s connected with
these clips are also deleted.
