3.2.6 Adding a Transition to the Timeline

apply a transition to the cutting point between clip B and clip A. For this

perform the following:

y Via the controls ( ) or the keyboard shortcuts [S] (jump

forward) and [A] (jump backward) you can move the timeline cur-

sor to cutting points on the timeline. Use the respective button or

key to go to the cutting point between the clips:

You cannot change the in- and outpoint of a clip beyond the

limits of its original material on the storage indicated by the

head/tail indicator.

Clips in the timeline can also be trimmed by cutting them with

the button +EDIT and afterwards deleting the not required

part of the clip. The cut will be applied to the position of the

timeline cursor. If a track is locked, no cutting will be per-

formed.
