Splitting and Joining Clips
In many situations you may find yourself splitting clips (adding edits) in order to separate
multiple clips that were inadvertently baked together, or to cut up clips into sections that you’re
planning on applying different effects to or grading differently.
Methods of splitting and joining clips:
To split a clip once: Drag the playhead to the frame where you want to split a clip, and
press Command-Backslash (\) to split every clip on a track with Auto Select enabled.
To split many clips: Click the Razor Edit mode button (or press B), and then click clips in
the Timeline to split as many clips as you want.
To split clips using the DaVinci control panel on the Color page: Move the playhead to
the frame you want to split, then press SHIFT UP and SPLIT/UNDO on the T-barpanel.
To join clips using the DaVinci control panel on the Color page: Move the playhead to
the edit point you want to join, and press SHIFT UP and JOIN/REDO on the T-bar panel.
Both clips must be from the same media file, and the frames to either side of the edit
point need to be continuous for those clips to be joined.
TIP: Using the Blade Edit Mode or Split Clip command on a clip that’s currently
selected preserves the selection on the first half of the clip after cutting.
