Trimming videos into multiple clips

To trim a video file into multiple clips

The Multi-trim Video feature is another method for breaking down a clip into multiple segments. While Split by Scene is automatically done by the program, Multi-trim Video gives you complete control over the clips you wish to extract, making it even easier to include only the scenes you want.

3 On the Edit tab, click Multi-Trim Video.

4 View the whole clip first by clicking Play to determine how you want to mark segments in the Multi-Trim Video dialog box.

5 Choose the number of frames to display by dragging the Timeline zoom. You can choose to display the smallest subdivision of one frame per second.

6 Drag the Scrubber until you get to the part of the video that you want to use as the beginning frame of the first segment. Click Set Mark-in button

7 Drag the Scrubber again, this time, to the point where you want the segment to end. Click Set Mark-out button

8 Do steps 4 and 5 repeatedly until you have marked all the segments you want keep or remove.

To mark segments in and out, you can press [F3] and [F4] while playing the video. You can also click the Invert Selection button or press [Alt+I] to toggle between marking segments that you want to retain or marking segments that you want taken out from the clip.

Quick search interval allows you to set a fixed interval between frames and browse through the movie using the set value.
