Editing Clips
‘Editing’ is a broad term that encompasses a number of different
functions: you can, for example, trim unwanted sections from
video or audio clips, increase or decrease the speed of a video
clip, or apply a special effect. This section describes all of the
editing processes that you can perform on the different types of
media clips.
Note: The functions in this section can only be performed in
Timeline view.
Split a Clip
You can split a media clip into two clips at the current position of
the Timeline slider. The procedure is the same for any type of
media: audio, video, image, or color board.
To split a media clip, do this:
1. Select the clip you want to modify.
2. Place your cursor at the position at which you want to split
the clip.
3. Click Split. The clip is split into two independent clips that
can be moved or modified separately in the workspace.
Note: Splitting a video or audio clip does not delete any
portion of the content. Both halves of a split video or
audio clip can be stretched back to any length up to
the original duration.
