Trim by Dragging an Edge

You can trim any kind of media clip in the Timeline (including

audio, video, and image clips and color boards) by dragging

either edge of that clip. You may find trimming a clip in this way

easier if you first expand the ruler.

Note: Video and audio clips cannot be lengthened beyond

their original duration.

To trim a media clip by dragging an edge, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Position your cursor at one end of the clip and drag the end

of the clip to the new position.

Note: You can drag the edge of a clip to lengthen it or to

shorten it. If you compress the start of a video or audio

clip, playback begins at a later frame within the clip. If

you compress the ending, playback ends at an earlier

frame within the clip.
