Lesson 1 Introduction to Editing in the Cut Page
5 Play over the master shot to hear the chef describe spaghettini as angle hair pasta.
This clip can be more concise if we trim the end so the clip stops after the chef says
“sometimes it’s called angle hair pasta”.
Just like the lower timeline, the upper timeline is a fully functional timeline where you
can move clips around and trim them. It is especially convenient when dealing with
longer clips.
6 In the upper timeline, position the mouse pointer over the end of the clip you want to trim.
When the cursor is to the left side of the cut, it will trim the out point, or “tail” of the cut.
7 Drag the out point until after the chef says “sometimes it’s called angle hair pasta”
When trimming an in or out point on video track 1 the cut page performs a ripple trim.
Ripple trimming pulls in all the clips after the trim point, leaving no empty space when
shortening the clip (much like the delete that you performed earlier in thislesson.)
Even the clips on video track 2 move based on the trimming that happens on video
track 1. This ensures all the cut aways stay in sync with the master video 1 track even
asyou trim.
Fine tuning a trim in the viewer
When it comes down to trimming out just a few frames to match action perfectly or remove
a single word at the start or end of a clip, the place to do that is within the viewer. The
viewer’s trim editor has single frame trim buttons and easy visuals for trimming precisely
the amount you want.
