Setting Up a Split Edit While Playing a Clip
You can mix and match simple edit points with split edit points, depending on what kind
of edit you want to do. In fact, it’s very common to first set a simple edit point, and then
change it to a split edit while your clip is still playing.

1 Open a clip in the Viewer.
2 Play your clip.

4 As your clip continues playing, do one of the following:
• To set a split video In point later than the audio In point, press Control-I.
• To set a split audio In point later than the video In point, press Command-Option-I.
5 As your clip continues playing, set an Out point at the new location by pressing the O
key.
6 If you want to set an additional split edit at the end of your clip, let playback continue
and do one of the following:
• To set a split video Out point, press Control-O.
• To set a split audio Out point, press Command-Option-O.
