Note: Changes made in the Video duration box only affect the Mark out point. Video duration Displays and sets the length of time of the clip. Arrow buttons Use these to fine tune your trimming. Video mark in / out Displays the points in the original clip where the trimming takes place. Apply renders the new settings made in the Options Panel to the selected clip. Working with clips Your original video file can be used as a source for creating a number of different clips in the Library. This type of editing allows you to trim different segments of a video file without affecting its source file. To create multiple copies of a single clip: 1. Click and drag a Trim handle to set the trim position. Click Load video to reinsert the original video file into the Library. Therefore, there are now two copies of a single clip in the Library. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to add more copies as needed. Note: In step 1, if you want to use an existing clip in the current project, drag a clip from the Timeline into the Library first. STORYBOARD 45 This clip is the trimmed version of the original video file. You can see that a selected clip was trimmed by checking the Options Panel or the Trim Bar. Once a clip is trimmed, rename the thumbnail in the Library to distinguish it from the original. (See detail on renaming in the notes below. ) This Library contains five copies of the same clip. Selected clips are highlighted in blue. Then the original clip is reinserted into the Library, the Mark in point is zero and the Mark out point is the last frame. The Trim Bar clearly shows that the clip has not been trimmed. Frequently, when you make changes, you may wish to make a permanent change to the clip and save the edited file. Again, VideoStudio gives you a margin of safety in that it saves the trimmed video to a new file and does not alter the original file. You can press [Delete] or drag the thumbnail to remove it from the Library, or even remove the original file to recover disk space. To break a clip into multiple files: 1. Select a clip from the Library or Timeline. Click and drag a Trim handle to set the trim position. You now have two different physical video files on your hard disk, the original file and a trimmed copy. Notes: · To rename a thumbnail, click the name of the thumbnail to modify. · Dragging a clip from the Timeline to the Trash only removes the thumbnail.
