Where Single Clip Trim?

Post by Traskmif »

In the 2021 pdf, it says 'choose Single Clip Trim' but doesn't say how or where. I've searched menus and buttons, all around the view pane and timeline, and what I think is the options panel (unnamed) but I can't find it.

I believe that option is used to trim clips that are in the library, right click a clip for options.
By trim, remove frames from the ends of the clip using the Mark In and Mark Out F 3 / F 4
If you view the Single Trim Clip panel you should notice it looks the same as the preview screen
In fact we can use the Preview screens navigation buttons and those square brackets, Mark In / Mark Out to trim clips on the timelines.
Of course we can always drag the ends of the clip on the timelines to remove frames.

The only really drawback is the white line represents the length of the clip and that can be small, a few seconds or long many minutes, so navigation for long clips could be an issue, but we can set the digital clock to accurately position the cursor, then hit F3 or F4
When using this bar to trim make sure the clip is selected, if Project is selected it will set the Preview Range showing an orange bar.

Have a look here at what other things the bar can be used for.
