Trimming video into multiple clips

The Multi-trim Video feature is another method for breaking down a clip into multiple segments. While Split by Scene is automatically done by the program, Multi-trim Video gives you complete control over the clips you wish to extract, making it even easier to include only the scenes you want.


Part	Description
1 — Timeline zoom	Drag up and down to sub-divide a video clip into frames per second.
2 — AccuCut Timeline	Scan a video clip frame by frame for accurate mark-in and mark-out positions.
3 — Playback Speed Control	Preview the clip at different playback speeds.
4 — Jog Wheel	Use to scroll to different parts of the clip.

To trim a video file into multiple clips

In the Edit workspace, select the clip that you want to trim.

Double click the clip to open the Options panel.

Click Multi-trim Video in the Options panel.

View the whole clip first by clicking Play to determine how you want to mark segments in the Multi-trim Video dialog box.

Choose the number of frames to display by dragging the Timeline zoom. You can choose to display the smallest subdivision of one frame per second.

Drag the Scrubber until you get to the part of the video that you want to use as the beginning frame of the first segment. Click Set Mark-in button

Drag the Scrubber again, this time, to the point where you want the segment to end. Click Set Mark-out button

Do steps 4 and 5 repeatedly until you have marked all the segments you want keep or remove.

Note: To mark segments in and out, you can press [F3] and [F4] while playing the video. You can also click the Invert Selection button

or press [Alt+I] to toggle between marking segments that you want to retain or marking segments that you want taken out from the clip.

Quick search interval allows you to set a fixed interval between frames and browse through the movie using the set value.

Click OK when finished. The video segments that you kept are then inserted onto the Timeline.
