Trim a clip when you want to alter the In and Out points for a specified length of time without affecting the clip. When you Trim a clip, you select only a segment of the original animation, audio or video, which you can then loop or scale.
Note: To edit a clip so that parts are deleted from it, use the Razor tool. see
Razoring clips.
To trim an animation, video, or audio clip:
- Double-click the clip to display its settings in the Asset Settings window.
- Move the Timeline indicator to the point in the clip where you want it to start and click the Mark In field’s Set button.
Move the indicator to where you want to trim the start of the clip.
- Now, move the timeline indicator to where you want the clip to end and click the Mark Out field’s set button.
The entire original clip is shown with the marked segment of the clip added to the end. The marked segment is shown looped until the end time of the original take.
Move the indicator to where you want to trim the start of the clip.
- To trim the beginning part of the take, enter a value in the First Loop field, above the Mark In and Out fields. The First Loop field lets you trim the clip’s first loop. This way, the first loop can be of a different length than the loops in the rest of the clip.
Note: These values use the local time of the selected clip.
