BASIC EDITING TECHNIQUES CHP. 4
Trimming an event beyond its end
You can trim an event beyond its end, extending it as a result. Once extended, the event loops as a default.
A notch indicates where the looped event repeats.
Alternately, you can turn looping off and make the last frame of an event’s media repeat for the duration of
the event (a freeze frame). A notch appears at the point in the event where the video ends and the freeze
frame begins. For more information, see Loop on page 171.
Trimming adjacent events
You can trim adjacent events simultaneously. Press while dragging the common edge between two
adjacent events. The trim adjacent cursor appears (
).
Trimming a time selection
Trimming events removes all media outside the time selection. The removed information is not placed on
the clipboard. Trimming is different from cutting in that the events within the time selection are preserved.
