TRIMMING AND SCRUBBING
Let’s spend a moment learning how to trim a clip in the DDR. To do this you will use tools in the
Scrub Bar immediately beneath the playlist pane (Figure 65).

Drag the Scrub Bar’s square blue knob left or right to change the current play position. Trimming
is accomplished by dragging the start and end points for the clip using the blue ] and [ bracket
controls at either end. (The mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow when you move it
over a trim control.)
