Chapter 7, Editing

To modify shots in the timeline, you use the Edit menu.

Note: If a layer is soloed, the Edit tools (Trash, Delete, Trim In/Trim Out, and Mark In/Out) default to 'Ripple End' behaviour, regardless of the Ripple Mode setting. If no layer is soloed, however, the Edit tools behave according to the individual Ripple Mode selected (Ripple Off, Ripple Start, or Ripple End) and apply to the active or visible layer that contains the focus point. For more information about Ripple Modes, see Trimming Ripple Mode.

The Edit menu is made up of the following buttons.

Trim In/Trim Out-- Allows you to enter the number of frames to trim at the in or out point for the current shot. See Trimming the Head and Tail of a Shot.

Slip--Moves the source frames within a shot without adjusting the shot's position in the timeline. See Slipping a Shot.

Mark In/Mark Out--Sets the in or out point of the current shot at the Current Frame positioner in the Shot timebar. See Changing In and Out Points for a Shot.

Start TC--Sets the frame number or timecode at which you would like the timeline to begin. If you enter a frame number, it is converted into the corresponding timecode value and vice versa. See Modifying the Timeline's Starting Record Timecode.

Trim--Interactively sets the shot's in and out points when you drag left and right in the viewers. Use the left viewer to trim the in point and the right viewer to trim the out point. See Trimming Interactively.

Slide--Slides a cut point forward or backward. See Sliding the Cut Point between Shots.

Cut--Cuts one shot into two at the Current Frame positioner. See Inserting Cuts.

Join--Joins two shots coming from the same source clip with consecutive source timecode. See Joining Shots.

Delete Shot--Deletes a shot from the timeline.

Scene Detect--Starts a scene detection process. When changes in your footage are above a threshold, a cut is introduced. See Using Scene Detection.

Confidence Check--Allows you to compare your current timeline with a clip coming from a digital cut of your offline edit. See Performing a Confidence Check.

Trash--Deletes shots from the Shot bin or Storyboard when you drag them to the Trash button.
