Trimming Clips
1. Click Open to load a video file for editing. After you are done selecting
a file, click Open.
2. The first frame of the video file will be displayed in the upper left pane
after you have selected it in the display area.
3. Now, drag the Start Trim and End Trim sliders located at the top of
the PowerVCR panel and release at the specific points where you
would like the newly trimmed file to begin and end.
Note: Both trim functions will be highlighted when the cursor is positioned
over it.
4. If you want to add another task (another clip) to the end of the first
trim or task (the End Trim's position), click Add Next Segment and
the next task will be added to the original but both tasks will still
remain two distinct files.
Note: This function only applies to tasks with remaining time from the
original clip since the next segment will only be added after the End Trim
position of the original task.
5. Click Trim Selected Item(s) to begin trimming.
6. You will be asked to save and name your edited file first. Name it and
then click Save.
Step Left and Right Trim
The purposes of the step left and right functions in the Video Trimmer mode
are for accurate trimming and merging timed within fractions of a second.
Their function is similar to that of the normal Step Left and Step Right
playback functions, but with the difference being they only step in the
selected trim area and adjust Step Left Trim or Step Right Trim positions.
1. To use the editing Step Left/Right Trim functions located to the
immediate left and right of Start/End Trim, click on either Start or
End Trim first after you have set the trimming positions.
2. Click Step Left Trim (after clicking on Start Trim) or Step Right Trim
(after clicking on End Trim) and the selected content will step in the
chosen direction.
3. Click Trim Selected Item(s) after you are finished.
4. A dialog box will appear. Select the proper directory and name your
file. Click Save.
