How to use zoom to view individual frames and trim a clip?

Post by c7386 »

I'm trying to follow these instructions to view individual frames and trim a clip. No matter where I move the zoom control I don't see anything except the first frame, and the rest of the clip is just 1 long grey bar. Why is this? It's an MPEG-2 clip if that matters.

"Tip: You can also use Zoom controls to display each frame of your video in the Timeline and trim one frame at a time. The Scroll Bar makes navigating through your project quicker and easier. A wheel mouse can also be used to scroll, and to zoom by pressing
[Ctrl].

To trim a clip directly on the Timeline:
1. Click a clip in the Timeline to select it.
2. Drag the yellow Trim handles on either side of the clip to change its length.
The Preview Window reflects the position of the Trim handle in the clip.
Or, click the timecode in the Duration box in the Options Panel and enter the desired clip length"
