Changing Cut Points

Adjust the cut points between two adjacent clips by trimming the Out point of
the first clip, the In point of the second clip, or both.

To change a cut point:

1. Select the tracks you want to edit in the Timeline.

2. Move to the appropriate cut point in the Timeline:

- Move to the next cut point by pressing

H

on your keyboard.

- Move to the previous cut point by pressing

G

on your keyboard.

3. Press

4

on your keyboard or click the

Cut Point Edit Tool

button in the

Timeline toolbar.

The Cut Point window appears showing the two clips you want to trim:

4. Choose one of the following ways to trim:

- Trim Mark Out — Extends or retracts the Out point of the first clip;

changes the duration of a sequence.

- Trim Mark In — Extends or retracts the In point of the second clip;

changes the duration of a sequence.

- Trim Both — Simultaneously manipulates the Out point of the first clip

and the In point of the second clip. This method extends L-cuts without
changing the sequence duration.
