Trimming a video
You can trim a video using the Jog Slider, mark-in/out buttons, navigation
controls, Shuttle Slider, and Jog Wheel. Trimming allows you to modify the
length of the video according to your needs.
To trim video:
1. Select a video thumbnail in the Media Clip list.
2. Use the navigation controls or drag the Jog Slider to where the clip will start
and click or press [F3]. Alternatively, simply drag Mark-in to the starting
point.
3. Use the navigation controls or drag the Jog Slider to move to the point where
the clip will end then click or press [F4].
4. Click Play (or press [Space]) to view the trimmed video.
Enabling Smart Proxy
Proxy files are lower resolution working copies of video files. They are reduced in
resolution or compression bit rate for only one reason -- to speed up editing of
high definition files. Proxy files are source-dependent rather than project-
dependent. In other words, proxy files can be shared among different projects.
Smart Proxy can also be used in other video file formats and is not limited to HDV
files only. The main purpose of this feature is to have a more efficient editing
experience by making smaller proxy files out of large videos.
When you edit and preview your HD project, proxy files will be used as substitutes
for their large video source counterparts. Whereas when you edit or preview your
project in standard playback mode or when you render a video file, the original
video source files will be used.
When you add an HD video clip to your project, you will be prompted to confirm
whether or not you want to enable the creation of proxy files.
In the case of HDV files, Smart Proxy is automatically activated during capture and
use of HDV files in your project.
Once Smart Proxy is enabled, proxy files will automatically be created and used in
your project whenever you insert video files into the Timeline.
