Trimming ShotClips

Trimming a clip involves setting its in and out points so that only part of the original source contributes to the clip.

There are three ways to trim a clip, depending on which method you prefer to use:

• Interactively using the cursor
• Trim commands
• Clip commands

To trim ShotClips interactively

• Press Alt+click the middle of either edge of a ShotClip so that a white box appears, and then drag in either direction.
  
  NoteOn Linux, Alt+click may not work if that combination is used by your window manager for another purpose. In these cases, you can modify your window manager to use a different combination. For more information, see Linux Systems and the Alt Key or consult the documentation for your window manager.
• To trim multiple ShotClips interactively, Shift or Ctrl+click them, press Alt, and then drag the edge of any clip.

To trim ShotClips using the Trim Before and Trim After commands

1. Select a ShotClip.
   NotePress Shift or Ctrl to select multiple ShotClips.
2. Move the playback cursor to where you want to trim the ShotClip.
3. Do one of the following:

   • Choose Clip Trim Before Current Frame (or press [ ) or Trim After (or press ]), from the Camera Sequencer Editor menu bar, to trim before or after the position of the playback cursor, respectively.

     or

   • Right-click the ShotClip you want to trim and choose Trim Before Current Frame or Trim After Current Frame.

   The tail end gets clipped with Trim After, and the head gets trimmed with Trim Before.

1. Move the playback cursor to where you want to trim.
2. Select one or more ShotClips.
