Description 

3.  To complete the operation, press the Slide edit button a second 

time (center touchpad button or left mouse click). 

Trim In 

The Trim In edit command is used to change the source In point as well 

as the duration of the selected asset (video and audio edits only). 

IMPORTANT! This edit function is only to be performed on video and 

audio track assets. Do not use this edit function of Subtitle track assets. 

Note that the Trim In command modifies three separate aspects of the 

edit (clip) in unison:  

1.  The source In point timecode of the selected video or audio edit 

is adjusted to the specified timecode value.  

Example: The Trim In function is used to move the start frame 

of the selected edit by five (5) frames or from 00:00:00:00 to 

00:00:00:05. 

2.  The duration of the selected edit is automatically updated to 

reflect the change made to the assets In point.  

Example: The duration of an edit is 00:00:09:23 (10 seconds) 

prior to “trimming” the In point. The start frame (In point) of the 

edit is moved from 00:00:00:00 to 00:00:00:05 (change of five 

frames) then the duration of the edit is reduced by five frames 

and becomes 00:00:9:19 (9 seconds and nineteen frames).  

3.  The number of frames specified in the trim operation 

simultaneously modifies the edited assets start position on the 

timeline.  

Example: The start frame of an edit (00:00:00:00) is aligned on 

the timeline at 00:00:10:00 prior to a trim operation. If the start 

frame position of the edit is “trimmed” by five frames, the 

position of the asset on the timeline is also modified by five 

frames (00:00:10:05).  

To trim the In point of an asset 

1.  Select the asset that is to be adjusted. Press the Trim In

command button
