Working with the Canvas
and Timeline
You use the Canvas and Timeline to build your project’s
sequences, adding, removing, rearranging, and trimming clips
as you like.
Next, you’ll use the Canvas to learn its basic video editing functions, and then you’ll
explore working with clips in a sequence in the Timeline.

the Canvas to edit clips into your sequence.
