Moving clips in the Timeline

To move a clip

You can easily move clips in the Timeline. For example, you can move a clip to align it with clips on other tracks, to close gaps after trimming, or to overlap one clip with another to create a transition. You can use cue points as snap points when you move clips or photos in the Timeline to position and align media with ease and precision. For more information about cue points, see Adding cues and chapters.
