Managing Selections

Selections are the fundamental building blocks of the VideoReDo editing process. With selections, you

indicate which portions of the source video program you wish to include or exclude from the edited output. There

is no limit to the number of selections you can create during the editing process. You can also save your

selections to a

project file so that they may be retrieved for additional editing in the future.

Creating selections: Creating selections is a three step process:

Navigate the video to the desired start of the selection, and press the button. The start

selection marker,

will appear at the current cursor position. If the new selection is to the right of end

selection marker, the end selection marker will be moved to the end of the file.

Navigate the video to the desired end of selection, and press the button. The end selection

marker,

will appear at the current cursor position. If the new selection end is to the left of the current

start selection marker, the start selection marker will be moved to the start of the file.

3. If you are operating in Cut Mode, you create the cut selections by pressing the

buttons. The Cut Selection button will mark the area between the selection markers as

the selection and add that selection to the list of cuts on the right of the screen. Trim Unselect will add the

areas outside the selection markers to the cut list creating two new selections. A portion of the background

on the navigator bar will be red to signify the sections of the video program that will be cut.
