Cutting Dissolves and Timewarps

Performing a cut on an uncommitted dissolve or timewarp divides the soft edit into two soft cuts.

If the cut is performed on a frame within a dissolve, the dissolve is committed before the cut is made. The two resulting cuts are soft edits linked to the original source clips.

If the cut is performed on a frame within a timewarp, two clips with unrendered timewarps are created.

NoteYou should commit a soft cutout before saving it to the clip library or an archive to avoid saving the soft cutout's source clip. See Committing Soft Clips.
