Splitting Clips

After dragging some clips to the Storyboard, you may find yourself in a situation where

you want to insert a clip in the middle of another clip. To do this, you can use the SPLIT

button.

1. Move the Play-head or the Storyboard Time Indicator to the location where you

would like to insert the new clip.

2. Press the SPLIT button to split the clip in two.

3. Drag the new clip between the two split clips.

TIP: If you position the Play-head at the first frame of a clip, clicking the SPLIT button will

split the clip in half.

Adding Transitions

When playing back your Storyboard, the default transition between two clips is a ‘CUT’.

You have the option, however of using a ‘DISSOLVE’ instead.

To change the transition from a ‘CUT ‘to a ‘DISSOLVE’, do the following:

1. On the Storyboard, click the ADD TRANSITION icon (+ sign) between the two

clips where you’d like to add the dissolve. Once added, the + sign will change to

a new icon, indicating that it is now a ‘DISSOLVE’.

2. Move the Storyboard Time Indicator to a couple of seconds behind the transition

point and press the PLAY button to see that the new transition has been applied.

To change the duration of a ‘DISSOLVE’, click on the Dissolve Icon to select it. Then

move the Play-head to the desired out point on the Playback Slider and press the MARK

OUT button or move the OUT Point Marker to a new position on the Playback Slider.

To remove a ‘DISSOLVE’, click and drag the Dissolve Icon off the top of the Storyboard

or select it and press the ‘DELETE’ key on your keyboard.

NOTE: Transitions use frames from the end of the first clip and the beginning of the

following clip. The number of frames used depends on the duration of the transition. The

number of frames in the transition cannot exceed the number of frames in the shortest

clip.
