# Trimming Elements

Trimming adds head or tail frames to the element or subtracts head or tail frames from the element. You can trim using the trim cursors in the timeline canvas. For a specific trim cursor to appear, you must place the cursor over the required position within the element (i.e., head, tail, or middle section of the element). For example, when you place the cursor over the start of the element (the head), the trim head cursor appears.
