If you make a mistake, either hit the undo button or start over by dragging the original clip into the timeline again.ĭragging a new clip to the timeline will place it at the end of your video sequence rather than placing it on a new track.

Repeat this for where you want your clip to end, then delete the unwanted portions.Įditing the clip in the timeline doesn’t affect your source video. When the playhead is at the point you want to insert a cut, hit the Split button or S key.

To trim your clip to only the portion you want to use in the video, either move the playhead (the thin vertical white bar topped by a triangle) or click within the black bar at the top of the clip. These are helpful options when working with multiple layers in the timeline, especially when trying to isolate the source of an unwanted sound. On the far left are options to lock, mute, or hide the clip.

The source file will appear in the timeline and in the preview window above the timeline. Once you have all of your video and image files in the playlist, drag one down to the timeline panel in the lower portion of the screen to start editing.
