Lift frames
Lifting removes frames from a sequence and leaves a gap of the same duration as the frames you remove.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
To remove entire clips, select one or more clips in the sequence and press the Delete key.
•
To remove a range of frames, use controls in the Program Monitor to specify sequence In and Out points, and
click the Lift button
.
Extract frames and close gap
Extracting removes frames from within a clip in a sequence and closes the resulting gap by ripple deletion.
1
Click the track headers for the video and audio track where the video and audio of the clip lie.
This will target the tracks for extraction.
Note: If only one of the relevant tracks is targeted, a gap will remain in the targeted track after frames are extracted
from it. For example, if a clip has its video on Video 1 and its audio on Audio 4, but Video 1 and Audio 1 are targeted,
nothing will get extracted from Audio 4, and a gap will remain in Video 1 after frames are extracted from it.
2
Use the controls in the Program Monitor to specify sequence In and Out points.
3
Click the Extract button
