Deleting Clips
When you right-click on a clip and select the Delete menu, you have a choice of Recycle or
Destroy. When you recycle, clips are moved to the Windows recycle bin. When you destroy,
they are permanently deleted.
Editing Clips
The clip viewer allows you to edit clips by moving the two markers you see below the position
slider--there's a green or "start" point and a red or "stop" point. When you click Play, playback
loops from the start point to the stop point. It is possible to place the stop point before the
start point, which in effect denotes a section of the video NOT to play.
To make your edit permanent, right-click the viewer window and click Trim/Export to remove
the video that's both before the start point and after the stop point. You may choose to
replace the current video or to create a new one. If you choose to replace, the video is
automatically re-opened in the viewer; otherwise, you will see a new clip created in the clip
list.
BVR and AVI are considered "input" formats, and MP4 and WMV are considered "output"
formats. You may convert an input format to an output format. In addition, you may trim an
AVI file to an output AVI file, or convert a BVR file to an AVI file, without re-encoding the video
or audio streams. Note that if the output format is AVI, the final file size must be less than
1GB. The new clip will retain the original's "date modified" and file attributes (such as read-
only or protected status).
