Perform a Multiple Trim

You can trim multiple portions from a video clip, resulting in

individual clips, which are independent of the original clip. You can

also detect scenes using the Multi Trim tool. Detected scenes, by

contrast, are not split from the original clip, but are simply divisions

contained within it.

To perform a multiple trim on a video clip, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Click Multi Trim. The Multi Trim dialog box opens.

3. Navigate to the mark in time by doing one of the following:

• Click inside the timecode box, enter a time using your

keyboard, then press the Enter key.

• Drag the time slider to the correct time position.

• Use the playback buttons.

4. Click to set the mark in point.

• To view the timeline more clearly, click to open the

timeline magnifier. Click to zoom in or to zoom out.

5. Navigate to the mark out time, then click to set the mark out

point. The scene you set appears in the pane to the right of the

preview window.
