Trim your clips by dragging their start and end points left or right, and press
the ‘snapping’ button in the toolbar to turn snapping on or off
Snapping is a helpful feature to use when adding clips to a timeline, or when moving clips
around, as they will “snap” together at edit points so you don’t overlap or leave blank space
between clips. Snapping can be disabled for greater precision when fine tuning edits. Press the
’N’ key to quickly turn snapping on or off.
Adding Transitions
A transition is a video or audio effect used to bridge one clip to another in a pleasing way, for
example dissolves, wipes, dips to color, cross fades and more. These can add a layer of
excitement to your edit. Transitions don’t always have to be joining two clips, for example you
can apply a dissolve transition to the end of one clip to create a quick and easy fade to black.
The transitions palette contains many types of transition effects
