efining a Timeline

In the toolbar, drag the zoom slider to the right until the first clip fills half of the
timeline window.

Position the playhead between the words “so” and “in this film.” Use the audio
waveform as a guide to position the playhead between the words.

This playhead position is where you want the clip to start. You can perform the

Choose Trim > Trim Start, or press Shift-[ (left bracket).

The start of the clip is trimmed to the playhead position. Let’s review the change.
