Cut videos in the project window
Let's assume that you have already imported your film material into a project and
would now like to edit it.
• Play back your video by clicking the play button 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
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 the case of long films or to speed up searching, you can also fast forward the
video and follow the action on the program monitor. To do this, pull the playback
marker across the timeline (but not too fast!) while holding down the mouse key.
• Set the playback marker exactly at the start of the unusable material. The zoom
function is recommended to get a better view of longer videos (the +/- buttons in
the bottom right corner of the project window).
• Press "T" on the keyboard. This will split 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
unusable scene, place the play marker as close as possible to the end point, and
then press the "T" key on the keyboard again.
