Removing frames from the middle of a clip in the Sceneline

You may want to retain material at the beginning and end of a clip for your movie but remove material from its

middle. You can split the clip right before the unwanted section begins and then trim the unwanted material from the

beginning of the newly created second clip.

To remove frames from the middle of a clip in the Sceneline:

1. In the My Project panel, click Sceneline.

2. Select the clip containing unwanted material in the

Sceneline.

The clip appears in the Monitor, with a clip

representation containing its filename in the time ruler

of the Monitor.

3. Drag the current-time indicator in the Monitor to the

frame where the unwanted material begins.

4. In the Monitor, click the Split Clip tool (Figure 13).

Two clip representations replace the original in the time

ruler of the Monitor, and two clips replace the original in

the Sceneline.

5. Select the representation of the second clip in the time

ruler of the Monitor.

6. Drag the Set In handle of the clip representation to the

right, and drop it past the unwanted material.

The unwanted material is removed from the beginning

of the second clip, and the gap created between the first

and second clips is automatically closed (Figure 14).
