4.9 TRIMMING ELEMENTS IN THE TIMELINE

EFINITION
The Trim function consists of adjusting the IN or OUT point of a timeline element.
This function is used to fine-tune transitions between two elements after you have
performed the first rough cuts.
The Trim function will shorten or lengthen the element that is in trim mode. The
length of the following or previous element will be impacted in Overwrite mode.
The elements can be trimmed up to the limits of the media still available before
the IN point and after the OUT point of the timeline element:
• If a record train including the timeline element is still available, the material
from the record train is made available.
• If a clip including the timeline element is available, the trim can be performed
up to the Protect IN or Protect OUT of the clip.
E
XAMPLE
In the example below, the trim mode is applied to the OUT point of a timeline
element and to the IN point of the following element (trim left and right). This is
the only case where the Insert/Overwrite mode does not have an impact on the
result.
In this case, the following actions are performed:
• The OUT point of the first element is rolled to the right and the element is
extended.
• The IN point of the following element is rolled to the right and the element is
trimmed.
