Drag and release the Time Slider to find the exact time positions and quicken
your search. You may also Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Pause, jump to the Start
or End of the file, and go to the Next or Previous Frame.
To capture the frame as a new image file, click Snapshot . Go to "Capture
Preferences" on page 41 for more information.
5 Click on the Mark In and Mark Out icons to set your trimming
positions at the Time Slider position or set them during playback. Or, you
may also utilize the Time Slider and directly drag the Mark In and Mark Out
sliders to the position where you would like to begin your trim.
After your Mark In and Mark Out positions have been set, their times will
be displayed to the right of each respective icon along with the time length
for this new clip in the bottom right area. The other time slot on the bottom
left indicates the current position of the Time Slider.
To reset, click Reset Mark In or Reset Mark Out .
To Resize your view, select one of the options from the drop-down menu.
Stretch: This option will stretch your media file to fill out the screen but
will not keep the aspect ratio.
Crop: This keeps the aspect ratio of your media file and if larger than the
Preview Window, it will crop off the sides.
1:1 Fit: This will fit your media file into the Preview Window but unlike
Stretch, it will keep the aspect ratio of the media file and won’t crop the
image.
1:1 Fill: This will fill out the Preview Window with the original size but
will crop the image.
Note: The resize function will not alter your original file but will affect your Storyboard clip.
Click Revert to return to the original trim (if the clip had already been
trimmed) or click Clear to start from scratch.
6 When you are satisfied with your trim, click Apply and your trim will be
applied to your Storyboard. Be sure to set your preferences for applying to the
Storyboard. Go to "Preferences" on page 39 for more information.
