at the position of the playhead.

Merge Edits Command

The Merge Edits command (Control-B) is similar to the Splice tool. It joins two shots
separated by a through edit at the current position of the playhead into a single shot.
Using this command eliminates the need to choose a tool.

To merge two shots into one at a through edit point

1

Move the playhead to the frame at the through edit you want to merge.

2

Do one of the following:

• Choose Timeline > Merge Edits.

• Press Control-B.

The Timeline updates to reflect the edit you’ve made, and the two shots that were
previously separated by a through edit are merged into one.

Important:

When you splice two shots that have different grades and corrections, the

grades and corrections of the shot to the left overwrite those of the shot to the right.

Snapping

When snapping is on, clips “snap to” the 00:00:00:00 time value in the Timeline.

To turn snapping on or off

µ

Choose Timeline > Snapping.
