6.4.6 Performing a Cut

Once at least one clip is present in the video or audio tracks of the time-

line, you can cut the clip at a desired position. For this perform the fol-

lowing:

y Move the timeline cursor to the desired position in the timeline as

described in section “Moving within the Timeline” on page 6-29.

y Then press the button +EDIT.

This will cut the clip and set a cutting/edit point at the selected position.

Then you can, for example, delete one of these clips (select the clip and

press the [Del] key on your keyboard), move it to another position (see

section “Moving Clips within the Timeline” on page 6-38) or alter its

properties differently (see chapter “Timeline Element Properties” on

page 7-1). When a track is locked (see section “Muting and Locking

Tracks” on page 6-36), its timeline element is not cut.

6.4.7 Setting Transitions

When at least two clips are present in a video track of the timeline you

can set a transition between these two clips. After the setting of a tran-

sition you can change its properties or, if applicable, prerender the tran-

sition (see section “Prerendering of Timeline Elements” on page 6-46).

This section describes in the following the necessary procedures to ap-

ply transitions to cutting points on the timeline.

To apply a transition to a cutting point perform the following:

y Move the timeline cursor to the cutting point between the two clips

with the respective controls (e.g. , see also section

“Moving within the Timeline” on page 6-29 and section “Con-

trols” on page 5-11). If you activate the trim mode, the Edit Tool

will automatically jump to the nearest cutting point (see section

“The Trim Mode” on page 5-24).

When zoomed far into the timeline, the timeline cursor pro-

vides a frame-end marker that indicates where the selected

frame ends in the timeline (see also section “Moving via the

Timeline Scale” on page 6-29). This may help you during the

positioning of the timeline cursor.

The length of a timeline element, i.e. its outpoint, can also be

adjusted frame accurately with its timeline element properties

(see section “General Items of the Properties Area” on

page 7-3).
