Protected and Inactive Tracks
Protected Tr a c k s and inactive Tr ac k s are handled differently during trimming (see also Trimming with the
Trim Editor on page 453):
 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 Tr im 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 Tr ac k s for the current trim.
 If you open the Trim Editor, then switch an edit-inactive Tra c k to edit-active, the closest edit on
that Track is selected for trimming. The other Tr a c k s are set edit-inactive.
Selecting a Trim Mode
When the Tr im E ditor is opened it is initially in Tr im Both mode. Two other modes are also available:
Trim Outgoing Clip and Tr im In coming 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 ot h) 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.
