All objects can be split. Each object section then becomes an independent object:
• Select the object to be cut.
• Position the playback marker at the position where the movie is to be cut.
• Select "Cut" among the cut functions in the toolbar or press the T key on the
keyboard.
Cut button: Here you can choose between various Cut modes (view page 46).
In order to rejoin these split objects at a later stage, simply select the individual parts
and select the command "Group" to join the selected objects into a group. Orders all
selected objects into groups.
Note: If the commands "Split" and "Remove beginning/end" are applied without a
selection, all objects at the position of the playback marker are cut.
Tip: You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on how to remove unusable
scenes from video material in the "Quick start" chapter of the print manual.
Two-point cut
Two-point cut makes importing files easy in order to insert new material at certain
positions quickly into complex projects. One point is placed in the arranger and
another is placed in source monitor, and these are used in either of the following
variations:
Variation 1: Source in/destination in
The point in the arranger specifies the location where the new material should be
inserted into the project ("destination in") and the point in the source monitor where
the new material should be inserted ("source in").
• Place the playback marker at the position in the arranger where the new material
should be inserted.
• Click in the program monitor on the
button in the transport control for
the start of the section (in point).
• Double click the desired file in the Media Pool to load it into the source monitor.
• Find the position in the source monitor where the material should be inserted.
