Note:
The frame appears in the Monitor panel.
2. Click the Split Clip button on the current-time indicator.
This splits the clip at the point selected.
3. Double-click the clip to the right of the split. This opens the clip in the Preview window.
You can also open the clip to the left and make the following edits by setting a new Out point.
4. In the Preview window, drag the current-time indicator to the frame just after the last frame of unwanted material.
5. Click the Set In Point button. This trims the unwanted material from the beginning of the second clip and shortens the clip in the Expert view
timeline, leaving a gap between it and the clip before.
6. Right-click/ctrl-click in the gap in the Expert view timeline, and then click Delete And Close Gap.
Retrieve frames in the Expert view timeline
1. In the Expert view timeline, position the pointer over the edge of the clip you want to trim until the correct icon appears:
Trim-In icon to retrieve frames from the beginning of a clip.
Trim-Out icon to retrieve frames from the end of a clip.
2. Drag the edge to the desired frame.
To change the In or Out point of only the video or only the audio of a linked clip, press Alt as you drag. You do not need to hold down
the Alt key once you start to drag.
Extend audio before or after linked video
The audio can begin before the video or extend it after the video into the next clip (or vice versa). Trimming linked audio and video separately is
called a split edit. Usually, when you create a split edit in one clip, you must create one in the adjacent clip so they don’t overlap each other.
You can create two kinds of split edits:
A J-cut, or audio lead, in which audio starts before linked video, or video continues after the audio.
An L-cut, or video lead, in which video starts before linked audio, or audio continues after the video.
1. In the Expert view timeline, select the clip.
2. If the clip is adjacent to another, Alt-drag the audio portion down to a separate track so there is empty space next to it.
3. (Optional) Move the current-time indicator to the video frame you want to trim, and make sure Snap is enabled with a check mark. (If it isn’t,
choose Timeline > Snap.)
4. Position the pointer over the edge of the video clip you want to trim, and do one of the following:
