ScreenFlow User Guide | Menus — Edit |
This section contains information on each item in the Edit menu of ScreenFlow: Undo
Your last change is undone. Undo is only available in some windows (such as the shot editor). ScreenFlow offers an unlimited (memory permitting) amount of undo actions. However, undo information is stored on a per-window basis. If you close a shot editor and then reopen it, your undo information will be lost. Redo
Your last undo is itself undone. Redo is only available in some windows (such as the shot editor). ScreenFlow offers an unlimited (memory permitting) amount of undo actions. However, undo information is stored on a per-window basis. If you close a shot editor and then reopen it, your undo information will be lost. Cut
If you currently have any clips selected, they are cut from the presentation. Otherwise, if you have marked an In Point and Out Point (see below), then using Cut will cut all objects for the range of the In Point and Out Point. If you want to then shift the clips left to fill the hole created by your cut, use "Ripple Delete" instead (see below). Copy
Copies the currently selected objects and saves them so they can be later pasted. Paste
Pastes objects that were previously cut or copied. Delete
Deletes the currently selected objects. Select All
Selects all of the objects. Deselect All
Deselects all of the objects. Split Clip
Will split the currently selected clips at the current scrubber point so you can adjust parts of the clip in the timeline To split a clip, you must first select a clip to be split. You can select a clip by either clicking on it in the timeline or in the preview areas of the main window. Then use the timeline scrubber to select where the split will occur in the timeline. Trim Front to Scrubber
Will trim the front of the currently selected clips from the start of the presentation up to the Scrubber. To trim the front of a clip, you must first select the clip. You can select a clip by either clicking on it in the timeline or in the preview areas of the main window. Then use the timeline scrubber to select where in the clip to trim it, then select "Trim Front to Scrubber". Alternatively, you can adjust the left side of the clip by clicking down on the mouse just near the left edge of the clip (the mouse pointer will indicate you can resize). Then click and move the edge of the clip to the right. This is the same as using "Trim Front to Scrubber". Trim End to Scrubber
Will trim the end of the currently selected clips from the end of the presentation back to the Scrubber. To trim the end of a clip, you must first select the clip. You can select a clip by either clicking on it in the timeline or in the preview areas of the main window. Then use the timeline scrubber to select where in the clip to trim it, then select "Trim End to Scrubber". Alternatively, you can adjust the right side of the clip by clicking down on the mouse just near the right edge of the clip (the mouse pointer will indicate you can resize). Then click and move the edge of the clip to the left. This is the same as using "Trim End to Scrubber". Ripple Delete
If you have used Mark In Point and Mark Out Point to create a range in the timeline, then you can use this item to delete that range and shift items at the same time. If you want to just delete the range without shifting the items, then you can just use "Cut". Be sure you have no clips selected, or only the clips will be Cut. Mark In Point
Sets the In Point for a range in the Timeline. This range can then be used to delete whole sections of your timeline, via the "Cut" or "Ripple Delete" menu items. You can move the In Point by grabbing it with the mouse and moving it left or right. You can shift-mouse down then drag in the timeline header to create a range in the timeline as well. Mark Out Point
Sets the Output Point for a range in the Timeline. This range can then be used to delete whole sections of your timeline, via the "Cut" or "Ripple Delete" menu items. You can move the Out Point by grabbing it with the mouse and moving it left or right. You can shift-mouse down then drag in the timeline header to create a range in the timeline as well.
