Trim: Trim Head, Trim Tail uses the playhead’s position to remove the current clip’s
head or tail. You can also press and hold Trim Head or Trim Tail while using the jog
wheel to extend either the head or tail of the current clip. While doing this, you see the
full waveform the clip you’re trimming as you turn the jog wheel, but when you release
the Trim Head or Trim Tail button, the Head or Tail of the selected clip appears trimmed
at the current frame at the playhead.
Split: The Split key splits the clip at the playhead position creating a new edit point
between two clips.
Fade: The Fade Head and Fade Tail keys add fades respectively from the playhead to
the head or tail of a clip.
Erase: Erase clip deletes the clip from the Timeline.
Edit mode actions when Range is active:
Cut Range: Use this key to cut all clips and partial clips within the range on the selected
track or tracks. The Cut Range key replaces the Cut Clip key when Range is toggled on.
This cuts clips within the range on all selected tracks.
Copy Range: Use this key to copy all clips and partial clips within the range on the
selected track or tracks. The Copy Range key replaces the Copy Clip key when Range
is toggled on. This copies clips on all selected tracks within the range.
Split Range: This key splits any clips lying across the range boundaries into two pieces
at the range In Point and Range Out Point. This affects clips at the range boundaries on
selected tracks.
Erase Range: Erase Range deletes the range from the Timeline. This Erase Range key
replaces the Erase Clip key when Range is toggled on.
NOTE: For ease of use and quick mastery, the Edit mode action keys are logically
grouped in pairs or trios so that keys involving the head of a clip are first and tails are
last. For example, the Cut Head, Cut Clip, and Cut Tails keys are grouped together as a
trio. Placing three fingers over those keys make it easy to remember the first key is the
head, middle key is the full clip, and last key is the tail.
In addition to the default Edit mode action keys, there is also a set of refinement action keys
that can be used to finesse edits, fades, and clip positions. The refinement action keys require
the Control modifier key as well as the jog wheel in most cases. These refinement action keys
are logically placed for quick decisions so you can first execute an edit and then refine it
without lifting your left hand or searching for a refinement key.
Control modifier-based editing refinement actions and associated keys include:
Erase: Erase Head and Erase Tail keys appear on the same keys as Cut Head and Cut
Tail so that you can quickly choose between a cut, which keeps the material in the
clipboard and erasure of the material, with the touch of your left Pinky finger on the
Control key.
Fade: Head X-Level and Tail X-Level keys appear on the Fade Head and Fade tail keys
so that you can first add a fade, then press Control and use the same key to refine the
fade level with the jog wheel. Additionally, long-press SHIFT to reveal Head XPoint and
Tail XPoint that can be changed with the jog wheel or long-press CTRL + SHIFT to use
the jog wheel to refine Head Shape and Tail Shape.
