mode is set to Clipboard, the Video Preview and Video Scopes windows will display the frame you
copied to the clipboard and the current frame. For more information, see "Monitoring Video with
Scopes" on page 481.
The Video Preview window temporarily enters split-screen preview mode when you perform one of the

split-screen mode allows you to see the event's first and last frame as you trim. You can toggle this
preview mode by selecting or deselecting the Video Event Edge Frames command on the View menu.
For more information, see "Adjusting an Event's Length" on page 158 and "Slipping and Sliding Events"
