1 Arrange Your Clips
Open the Collections bin and drag your clips onto the timeline.
Timeline View vs. Storyboard View
Try both views: toggle the icon shown to the right (find it above the timeline).
Viewing the project as a storyboard may seem more intuitive, but the timeline view shows the relative length of video and audio clips.
We'll be using the timeline view for this tutorial.
2 Cut and Splice
Click on a clip and position the playhead where you want to split the clip.
Use Clip > Split (Ctrl + L) to cut the clip into two.
Rearrange the remaining pieces, or press delete to remove the unneeded portion.
3 Shave the Edges Off
Click on a clip and hover your cursor over the beginning or ending of the clip — the cursor will turn into a red double arrow. Drag the clip edge to shave off the outer portion.
Zooming and Precision
Get a different perspective on the timeline with the zoom slider. When on the timeline, hold alt and press the left or right key to nudge your playhead a single frame.
We're always looking to improve these guides.
