Trimming your clip

Use the timeline to move through your recording and adjust clip length.

​

Move around the timeline

At the bottom of the editor, you will see a blue timeline bar. It shows the full length of the clip and the current playback speed. To zoom in or out, use the zoom slider next to the magnification icons. To move through the timeline:

• Swipe on your trackpad while your cursor is over the timeline
• Use your mouse wheel
• Drag the scrollbar

​

Split a clip

Use the scissors tool to split a clip into parts. You can enable it in either way:

• Click the scissors icon
• Press Ctrl + S

Then click the timeline where you want to split the clip.

​

Remove a section

After you split a clip, select the section you want to remove. Then:

• Press Delete, or
• Use the remove action in the right-side panel

​

Trim without splitting

To shorten or extend the beginning or end of a clip:

1. Click and hold the edge of the clip.
2. Drag left or right.

Each trim appears on the timeline as a small scissors marker. Click that marker to undo the trim.
