Split a Clip

Edits on the timeline do not affect the clips in the Clip Bin. The Clip Bin maintains the original

files.

be split.

2. Click to select each media to be split. When a media is selected, it turns blue. To select multiple

pieces of media, press and hold the CTRL key on the keyboard then click each media to be split.

Click Split or, press S on the keyboard. The clip splits into two separate clips.

Use caution when arranging and editing the split clips on the timeline. Both clips have the

same name.
