Playing a Clip

Now that you have recorded a clip, you can play it back:

1. Select a clip in the current bin.

2. Choose

Load

from the

Media

menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-

click. You can also click on the

Load

button on the current bin toolbar. The

clip is loaded onto the capture timeline.

3. Click on the

Play

button.

You can also drag and drop a clip onto the capture timeline. To drag and drop
a clip:

1. Select a clip by clicking the left mouse button while the mouse pointer is

over the desired clip and hold the button down.

2. Drag the clip to the capture timeline and release the mouse button.

Trimming a Clip

Trimming a clip means changing the mark-in and/or mark-out points so that the
clip duration becomes shorter. To trim a clip:

1. Select the clip you want to trim in the current bin.

2. Load the clip onto the capture timeline.

3. Do one of the following:

• Drag the mark-in or mark-out cursors to a new position on the timeline (see

the mark-in and mark-out cursors in Figure 109 on page 206).

• Drag the current time cursor to a new location and click on the

Modify Mark-

in

button or

Modify Mark-out

button. The current position is taken as the

new mark position.

• Adjust the in and out marks by entering the new timecodes in the boxes

provided (see the timecode entry boxes in n Figure 109 on page 206).

Even when trimmed, media remains on disk. Choose

Media | Cleanup

to

remove excess media permanently from a trimmed clip. The trimmed portions
are removed from disk, thus freeing space for more clips.

NOTE:

Media | Cleanup

works only if no subclips have ben created

from a clip. If subclips have been created, or if the clip is referenced
by a master,

Cleanup

will fail.
