To remove an entire audio or subtitle track rather than just a clip, see “To remove audio or subtitle tracks” on

page 154.

To delete clips, you can also right-click a clip and choose an option from the context menu.

To move or paste clips in timelines

1 Open the timeline containing the audio clip, video clip, or still image.

2 Click either selection tool, and select the item.

3 Do one of the following:

• To move the item, drag it to the desired location in the timeline.

• To copy the item, choose Edit > Copy. Position the current-time indicator to where you want to paste the item,

and choose Edit > Paste.

To change the display time of still images

Although the Slideshow panel is the preferred method for creating a slide show, you can add still images to a timeline.

The default timeline duration for a still image is six seconds. You can increase or decrease the duration of any still

after you place it, or you can change the default duration for stills in Preferences.

1 Open the timeline containing the still you want to change.

2 Position the Selection tool pointer over the end of the still image that you want to adjust. The pointer changes to

a red bracket with a double-sided arrow.
