Editing clips
Last updated 8/12/2010
Splitting a clip divides it into two parts, creating a new and separate instance of the original clip. If the clip is linked to
another clip, a new instance of the linked clip is created as well. The two resulting clips, when combined, represent the
original clip. The resulting clips are full versions of the original clip, but with the In or Out points changed to match
the location marked by the tool. You can select and delete these clips.
Split Clip tool (before, above and after, below) cuts selected clips at the current-time indicator.
Note: If you want to change effect settings over time, you don’t have to split the clip. You can apply keyframes to a single
clip instead.

•
In the Sceneline, drag the current-time indicator

you want to create the split.
