Editing Clips

Trimming Clips

1. Once all of your clips are in the timeline you can fine-tune your start and endpoint of each clip by selecting the clip and dragging the ends left and right. Note: dragging the ends left and right doesn’t delete these parts of the clip so if you make a mistake, just drag it back:

Splitting Clips

If you want to edit something from the middle of a clip, right click the section and select “Split Clip”. Then drag the ends left and right as you normally would:
