• To split a long scene into two shorter scenes, navigate to a
position inside a chapter you have already set, then click
to split the scene.
Note: You can continue to cut multiple scenes from the video clip. Each
scene, however, must have a duration of at least two frames.

Trim by Dragging an Edge
You can trim any kind of media clip in the Timeline (including audio,
video, image clips and color boards) by dragging either edge of the clip.
You may find trimming a clip easier this way if you first expand the ruler.
Note: Video and audio clips cannot be lengthened beyond their original
duration.
To trim a media clip by dragging an edge, do this:
1. Select the clip you want to modify.
2. Position your cursor at one end of the clip and drag the end of the
clip to the new position.
Note: You can drag the edge of a clip to lengthen it or to shorten it. If you
compress the start of a video or audio clip, playback begins at a later frame
within the clip. If you compress the ending, playback ends at an earlier frame
within the clip.
