TRIMMING AND SCRUBBING
Let’s spend a moment learning how to trim a clip in the DDR . To do this you will use tools in the
Scrub Bar immediately beneath the playlist pane (Figure 50).
Figure 50
Drag the Scrub Bar’s square blue knob left or right to change the current play position. Trimming
is accomplished by dragging the
start and end points for the clip using the blue ] and [ gadgets at
either end. (The mouse pointer changes to a double-headed arrow when you move it over a trim
control.)
12. Click the first (top-left) clip in the DDR playlist , highlighting it.
13. Drag the trim handles to shorten the clip’s runtime to 10 seconds (watching the
Duration display to the right of the Scrub Bar helps when trimming).
14. Record a few more clips, if you haven’t already done so, and add several to the DDR
playlist (either automatically or by using the Add button).
SINGLE AND AUTOPLAY

15. Click the Single switch (Figure 51).
16. Double-click the first clip in the DDR playlist to play it (double-clicking is another way to
engage Play ). With Single mode engaged, playback stops at the end of the current clip.
17. Select Camera 1 on the Switcher’s Preview row.
