Creating a Clip

Gareth Casey Updated by Gareth Casey

It's not uncommon to capture a bit of unwanted footage at the start and end of a recording. This can easily be trimmed off on the Preview Window without havign to create a project in the Project Editor.

Select the section of the video that is used to make your new clip by resizing the blue highlighted area on the timeline below the video preview window. Click and drag the handles at either end of the bar to make the clip longer or shorter.

You can also adjust the aspect ratio of the clip by clicking the button and then selecting one of the pre-defined aspect ratios.

After selecting the section of the video that will be used to make the clip or making any changes to the aspect ratio, the new clip will need to be saved by exporting.

Click Export to begin exporting a new video file. See Exporting Your VIdeo for more details about selecting the export format and customizing the exported video file.
