Part VI

Rough Editing

The positions of the different edit points you’ve selected don’t change relative to one
another, but the selected area of your clip or sequence does. As it changes, you’ll see
the first selected frame of video updated in the Viewer, and the last frame of video
updated in the Canvas.

If you make the changes in the Timeline, you’ll see a two-up display in the Canvas,
showing the updated frames.

To remove one or more split edit points, do one of the following:

m

To clear both of your split In points, press Option-I.

Choose Mark > Clear Split, then choose the edit points you want to remove from
the submenu.

m

Drag a split edit point up or down out of the scrubber bar until it disappears, then
release the mouse button.

choose the edit point you want to remove from the submenu.
