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.
To trim media clips in the Bin:
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 .
NOTE: You can also drag other clips into the Trimmer without
having to close and reopen the Trimmer window.
