Using subclips
Creating a subclip
1. Create a selection in the Trimmer window.
2.
Click the Create Subclip button . The Create Subclip dialog is displayed.
When an event has been trimmed or split so it plays only a portion of an event, you can also
right-click the event in the timeline and choose Create Subclip from the shortcut menu to
create a subclip using that portion of the media file.
3. In the Name box, type the name you want to use to identify the subclip in the Project Media
window. By default, the file name is used with a subclip number appended.
4. Select the Reverse check box if you want the subclip to be played backward when you add it to your
project.
5. Click OK to create the subclip. You can then create events from subclip via the Project Media
window.
Selecting a subclip in its parent media
1. Right-click a subclip in the Project Media window and choose Open in Trimmer from the shortcut
menu.
2.
Click the Select Parent Media button in the Trimmer window. The subclip's original media file is
opened in the Trimmer, and the portion of the media that represents the subclip is selected.
If you want to open the original media file that was used to create the subclip in the Trimmer, right-
click an event on the timeline (or a subclip in the Project Media window) and choose Open Parent
Media in Trimmer from the shortcut menu.
Copying the current frame to the clipboard
Right-click the Trimmer window and choose Copy Snapshot to Clipboard from the shortcut menu to copy
the current frame to the clipboard.
Saving the current frame as a file
Right-click the Trimmer window and choose Save Snapshot to File from the shortcut menu to save the
current frame as an image file.
The Save Snapshot to File dialog is displayed to allow you to choose the format and location where you
want to save the file. The file is automatically added to the Project Media window.
