Editing Media Clips

‘Editing’ is a broad term that encompasses a number of different

functions: you can, for example, trim unwanted sections from video

or audio clips, increase or decrease the speed of a video clip, or apply

a special effect. This section describes all of the editing processes that

you can perform on the different types of media clips.

Note: The functions in this section can only be performed in Timeline

view.

Split a Clip

You can split a media clip into two clips at the current position of the

Timeline slider. The procedure is the same for any type of clip (media

or effect) except for transitions.

To split a media clip, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Place your cursor at the position at which you want to split the

clip.

3. Click Split. The clip is split into two independent clips that can

be moved or modified separately in the workspace.

Note: Splitting a video or audio clip does not delete any portion of the

content. Both halves of a split video or audio clip can be stretched

back to any length up to the original duration.
