How to Trim a Clip

An existing clip can be trimmed and saved with the same name, so the updated clip
replaces the previous one. During this operation, the IN point and/or the OUT point of a
recorded clip can be modified and put within the [Protect IN – Protect OUT] duration of the
clip, i.e. clip duration including the guardbands.

To trim a clip, proceed as follows:

1. Load a clip on the Control Panel associated to a player.

2. Browse the clip to mark a new IN point and/or a new OUT point.

3. Click the IN button and/or the OUT button respectively, or use the corresponding

shortcuts.

4. Click the Update button to save the updated clip.

If the clip to trim is part of a group of linked clips, all the linked clips can be trimmed by
selecting the Trim all ganged clips setting under Tools > Settings > Clips > General.

Note

If the original record train is still available, clicking the Ret button will load the
media on the same frame than the loaded clip. This will allow retrieving media
outside the original clip boundaries.
