7.2.2. Step 2 – Splitting Video
Once you have located a section in your video that requires an edit, whether it is a cut, a
transition, or a special effect, you will want to split your video clip to allow for a transition to be
inserted, or as a way to isolate a section from the rest of your video.
The splitting feature functions similarly to cutting film strips or negatives.
Cutting a physical negative with a pair of scissors divides it in two. Splitting a video in the edit
section works the same, leaving you with two divided clips, that are automatically placed in the
Video Clipboard.
Split
– Use the scissors button to split your video at the current playhead position or
video frame appearing in the panel. Use the Pause, Previous Frame, and Next Frame
controls if necessary, to locate an exact scene or frame to split your video on.
