Editing is done in the Timeline. Add a clip by dragging it from the project tree or the Clip Monitor. Once a clip is dropped on a track, it can be moved (drag and drop it) at another place on the track or on another track.

Seeking through your project

The timeline cursor shows your current position in the project. It can be moved by clicking / dragging in the Timeline ruler or in an empty area of the timeline. Other ways to move the timeline cursor are:

  • The keyboard right / left arrows
  • The mouse wheel over the timeline ruler or the project monitor
  • Editing the timecode in the project monitor timecode widget

Cutting a clip

To cut a clip, the easiest way is to place the timeline cursor where you want to cut the clip, then select the clip (left click in it) and use the menu Timeline > Current Clip > Cut Clip (default shortcut: Ctrl+R).

Resizing a clip

A clip can be resized from start or from end by dragging its left or right edge. If you want a more precise resize, you can place the timeline cursor wherever you want the resize to end, and use the menu Timeline > Resize Item Start (default shortcut: 1) or Timeline > Resize Item End (default shortcut: 2)
