1. Deselect any tracks you don’t want to extend.
To deselect a track, click once in the track indicator on the Timeline for each
track you want to deselect.
2. Highlight the clip you want to extend.
3. Move the cursor to the position you want to extend the clip to.
4. Press V on your keyboard.
The clip extends into the next clip. If the clip doesn’t have enough handle material to
extend as far as you select, Aurora Edit extends it as far as it can.
You can also shorten a clip using this method by marking an In point on a clip and
pressing
V on your keyboard.

Trimming your media clips in the Bin
You can trim clips in the Bin without putting them into the Timeline.
For example, you can record a long section of tape and then create shorter individual
clips to edit into a sequence. This process is the same as editing clips in the Timeline,
but you can also create subclips using this method. Subclips allow you to create shorter
clips without changing the original recorded clip.
1. Double-click the media clip you want to trim.
The Trimmer window appears.
2. Press W on the keyboard to play the clip.
3. Press the I and O buttons on the keyboard to mark new edit points.
To see the extra recorded material, click the Add Handles button.
