Trimming your media clips in the Bin
You can trim clips in the Bin without putting them into the Timeline.
For example, you can record a long section of tape and then create shorter individual
clips to edit into a sequence. This process is the same as editing clips in the Timeline,
but you can also create subclips using this method. Subclips allow you to create shorter
clips without changing the original recorded clip.
1. Double-click the media clip you want to trim.
The Trimmer window appears.
2. Press
W
on the keyboard to play the clip.
3. Press the
I
and
O
buttons on the keyboard to mark new edit points.
To see the extra recorded material, click the
Add Handles
button.
4. Click
OK
.
You can also drag other clips into the Trimmer without having to close and reopen the Trimmer
window.
