Trimming Video

 Stretch: This option will stretch your media file to fill out the

screen but will not keep the aspect ratio.

 Letterbox: This option will fit your media file into the Preview

Window but (unlike Fit to output size) will keep the aspect

ratio of the media file and won’t crop the image.

 Crop: This option will fill out the Preview Window with the

original size but will crop the image.

Note: The Resize function will not alter your original file but will affect your Storyboard

clip.

 Click Revert to return to the original trim (if the clip had already been

trimmed) or click Clear to start from scratch.

4 When you are satisfied with your trim, click Apply and your trim will be

applied to your Storyboard. Be sure to set your preferences for applying to the

Storyboard. Go to "Edit Preferences" on page 46 for more information.

Splitting the Video File

To save precious editing time, the Split Video function automatically splits an

original video file into two separate clips with one swift click and eliminates the

need to drag the same file onto the Storyboard twice and trimming both separately.

Just keep in mind this function is only intended for Library files that do not have

effects applied from other modes. Apply effects only after you split the video.

1 Select a media file from the Library by double-clicking on the selected file or

dragging it into the Preview Window. Refer to "Importing into the Library" on

page 30 for more information on importing.

2 To split video files that have already been applied to the Storyboard, simply

select the particular clip by double-clicking and it will be displayed in the

Preview Window.

Note: If the Storyboard clip has been previously modified or contain effects, this clip may

not be split.

3 Click the Tri m M od e located on the Modes Wheel.

4 Drag the Time Slider to the scene where you would like to split this video or

through any other navigational method.

5 Click Split Video . The file will be split into two clips on the Storyboard.

 If you would like to further trim either clip, refer to "Trim Mode" on page 67.
