Note:
Retrieve frames in the Monitor panel
1. Double-click a clip in the Quick view timeline.
The start and end points of the clip becomes visible in the Preview window of the Monitor panel.
2. In the Preview window, do one of the following:
To retrieve frames at the beginning of the clip, drag the In point handle to the left.
To retrieve frames at the end of the clip, drag the Out point handle to the right.
Trim in the Expert view timeline
You can remove or regain trimmed frames from either end of a clip by dragging the clip’s edge in the Expert view timeline. To help you locate the
desired frame, the Monitor panel displays it at the changing In or Out point of the clip as you drag. If another clip is adjacent to the edge you’re
trimming, the Monitor panel displays the frames of both clips side by side.
The frame on the left (the Out point) is earlier in time, and the frame on the right (the In point) is later in time. Subsequent clips, as well as blocks
of empty space, in the Expert view timeline shift as you drag the clip’s edge.
A tool tip displays the number of frames you are trimming as you trim them. This window displays a negative value if you drag the clip’s edge
toward the beginning of the movie.
It displays a positive number if you drag toward the end of the movie. You can tell whether you have trimmed a clip by looking for a small gray
triangle in the top corner at either end of the clip in the Expert view timeline. The triangle indicates you have not trimmed that edge.
For linked clips (video that includes a soundtrack), dragging the edge of one clip changes the In or Out points of both clips. Sometimes you want
to trim linked clips independently to create split edits (also known as L-cuts and J-cuts). Pressing Alt when you trim allows you to set the In and
Out points of the video and audio separately.
Trim clips in the Expert view timeline
1. Position the pointer over the edge of the clip you want to trim until the correct icon appears:
Trim-In icon to trim the beginning of a clip.
Trim-Out icon to trim the end of a clip.
2. Drag the edge to the desired frame. The Monitor panel displays the frames as you drag, also showing the frame from the adjacent clip (if
any). Subsequent clips in the track shift in time to compensate for the edit, but their durations remain unchanged.
You cannot drag the In point of a clip to the left past the edge of an adjacent clip.
Remove frames from the middle of a clip in the Expert view timeline
You can retain content at the beginning and end of a clip for your movie and remove content from its middle. Split the clip before the unwanted
section begins, and then trim the unwanted material from the beginning of the second clip resulting from the split.
1. In the Expert view timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the frame where the unwanted section of a clip begins.
