Trim, split, and arrange clips

Remove unwanted sections and work with separate timeline tracks.

These guides cover the development build shown on this site. Some controls may differ in the published installer. Check your version in Settings and the download notes.

Move around

Click the ruler to move the playhead. Press Space to play or pause, and F to fit the project in the timeline. Increase timeline zoom when a handle is too small to grab.

Remove a section

  1. Place the playhead at the start of the unwanted section and choose Split, or press S.
  2. Move to its end and split again.
  3. Select the middle clip and press Delete. Play across the join.
  4. Use Ctrl + Z if the wrong clip was selected.

Trim and move

Drag a clip edge to adjust its start or end. Drag the body to reposition it. Keep an eye on the selection: clips, zoom blocks, annotations, and audio have different tracks and controls.

Workspace and saving

Use I to hide or show the inspector and T to switch the compact timeline layout. The resize handle changes timeline height, not output dimensions. Ctrl + S saves the project. Keep its media files together if you move it.
