30 Quick start
 Variant 2: Cut the material prior to importing it, and then proceed to import
only the scenes you need. This process is recommended for long movies
with a lot of editing; it functions either via the Media Pool or the project
folder.
Cut videos in the project
Let's assume that you have already imported your film material into a
project and would like to edit it now.
 Play back your video by clicking "Play" on the program monitor's transport
control (or simply press the space bar on the keyboard).
 If during playback you have reached a scene that you would like to cut out,
click on the playback button in the transport control a second time. The
playback marker stays near the start of the scene to be removed.
Tip: In case of long films or to speed up searching, you may also fast
forward the video following the action on the program monitor. To do so,
drag the playback marker while holding down the mouse key across the
timeline (but not too fast!).
 Set the playback marker exactly at the start of the unwanted material. The
zoom function is recommended to get a better view of longer videos (the +/-
buttons in the bottom right corner of the arranger).

Press the "T" key on the keyboard. This will have the effect of cutting the
current scene into two sections at the position of the playback marker.
 Repeat these steps for the end of the unusable scene. Find the end of the
scene, place the playback marker as close as possible to the end point,
and then press the "T" key on the keyboard again.
