When you add a shot to the Timeline, it automatically creates a splice. A splice is where one element ends and the following element begins, creating a hard transition. It is also possible to add a splice to an element in the Timeline to divide the element into two sections. You can remove a splice from an element, creating a continuous element.

To add a splice:

1. Click and drag the focus point to the layer you want to splice.
2. Move the positioner to the exact location of the element you want to splice.

   
   

3. Click Cut (or press Shift+C).

   A splice is added.

   
   

To remove a splice:

1. Place the positioner on the right-most (also known as the B) side of the previously cut shot.
2. Click Join (or press Shift+J).
   NoteYou cannot join elements coming from two different shots. You can join two shots coming from the same source clip with consecutive source timecode.
