on page 6-49). They are available when you select two or more in- or
outpoint handlers of timeline elements present in the timeline.
Figure 6-46: In- and outpoint handlers selected
To select more than one handler perform the following:
y Select one of the desired handlers with a click of the mouse.
y Hold down the [Ctrl] key while clicking on another handler with the
mouse.
y Perform this step for as many additional handlers as you want.
After that you can click on one of the handlers and drag it to another
position. The rest of the selected handlers will act accordingly.
With the selection of more than one handler of timeline elements you
have some advanced possibilities for trimming at hand:
– If you select the outpoint handler of one clip and the inpoint han-
dler of the neighboring clip to the right (as can be seen in
figure 6-46 on page 6-51), you can extend the length of one clip
while shortening the length of the other at the same time. Thus the
timeline length will be maintained.
Figure 6-47: Selected in- and outpoint handlers of neighboring clips
– If you select either two outpoint handlers or two inpoint handlers,
you can adjust the length of the two clips simultaneously.
This procedure can be used for all timeline elements, i.e. video
clips, audio clips and embedded operators (e.g. transitions).
For further, more general information about trimming see sec-
tion “Changing In- and Outpoints of Timeline Elements” on
page 6-47.
To trim several in- or outpoint handlers there must be enough
head and tail available for all selected timeline elements, other-
wise a trimming will not be possible.
