T RIMMING AND S CRUBBING
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 69).
FIGURE 69
Drag the Scrub Bar’s (square) 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.)
6. Click the first (top-left) clip in the playlist, highlighting it.
7. Drag the trim controls to shorten the clip’s runtime to 10 seconds (watching
the Duration display to the right of the Scrub Bar helps when trimming).
8. Record a few more clips, if you haven’t already done so, and add several to
the playlist (either automatically or by using the + (Add Media) button).
