The Source Tool

The Source Tool digitizes raw material directly to the Timeline. This is the
fastest and most efficient way to generate clips from a source tape. You can also
use other sources for your footage, such as video feeds or microphones.

The Trim Tool

The Trim Tool changes the head or tail of a clip to change its duration.
