Changing Clip Length
You can change the start time and duration of the clip by clicking on the clip near the beginning or end of the clip. When you do this, the Mouse Pointer will indicate you can change the duration or start time. Click and drag to change the start-time or duration. Changing Clip Length in Movies and Audio clips
If the clip represents Movie or Audio media, when you change the clip length, you are actually setting the "In Point" or "Out Point". The "In Point" is when, inside the media, to start playing. Consider a Movie where the first 2 seconds of the Movie is something you are not interested in including in your presentation. If you set the "In Point" to 2 seconds, then when the movie starts playing, it will start playing at 2 seconds. You can also change the "In Point" and "Out Point" by using the "Set In Point" and "Set Out Point" options in the Edit Menu. Limitations for Movie and Audio clips
If the clip represents Movie or Audio media, then you cannot add to the total duration, nor set the in point before the start of the media. This means that in certain situations, you cannot drag the end of the clip further to the right, or drag the start of the clip further to the left. If you run into such a situation, you have reached the end(or the beginning) of the clip. |
