5.5.2 Setting In- and Outpoints of Clips
If clips are already present in the timeline of the Edit Tool, you can
change their in- and outpoint with the trim mode even if a transition is
already applied to the cutting point. To do this frame accurately you
have various controls at hand either to monitor the trimming or to ad-
just it. With the trim mode activated and the timeline cursor positioned
at the desired cutting point between two clips perform the following:
The two entry fields below the OUT and IN button
allow you to monitor and adjust the trimming. The
left field indicates the changes to the outpoint of
the clip to the left of the cut, the right field dis-
plays the changes to the inpoint of the clip to the
right. To use the fields to adjust the trimming se-
lect the out- and/or inpoint with the buttons OUT
and IN, then enter the trimming values (positive or
negative) either in timecode or frames notation
and press [Enter]. Further information about time-
code/frame number entry fields can be found in
section “About Timecode / Frame Number
Fields” on page 2-17.
With these buttons you can trim the out- or in-
point selected via the buttons OUT and IN one
frame for- or backwards. The respective handler
will move accordingly. If both buttons are activat-
ed, the out- and inpoint will be both adjusted si-
multaneously.
These buttons allow you to trim the out- or in-
point selected via the buttons OUT and IN ten
frames for- or backwards. The respective handler
will move accordingly. If both buttons are activat-
ed, the out- and inpoint will be both adjusted si-
multaneously.
You can also change in- and outpoints of clips with their re-
spective representations in the timeline directly (see section
“Changing In- and Outpoints of Timeline Elements” on
page 6-47).
