Trimming video clips

Trimming video clips, that is setting new cue in/out points, is often necessary. Perhaps because unnecessary footage has been captured at the start or end of the clip. Perhaps because you can analyze or coach more effectively if the clip is shortened to show only specific actions.


Setting cue in/out points

1.	Point the mouse at the cue in/out marker ( / ).

2.	Click and drag to the chosen start/end point. The video display will show the selected start/end frame as you drag.

3.	Release the mouse button.

You can also click in the Timeline to position the Playhead, right-click and select Set In or Set Out.


Once the new in and out points are set, you have the choice of saving the trimmed video clip (see Saving a new video to learn how to do this).


Reset cue in/out points

1.	Right-click on either the cue in/out markers or the Playhead.

2.

Select Reset in/out Points from the context menu (see illustration above).

You can also select Analyze>Reset user's in/out values from the Menu bar.
