Making selections in the Timeline
In order to edit clips, you must first select them. This can be as easy as
clicking on a clip, but more advanced techniques can be very useful. There
are two types of selections that you can make: clip-based and time-
based. Clip-based selections are horizontal, moving left, and right across
tracks, whereas time-based selections are vertical, encompassing all clips
in all tracks within the selected duration. You can make selections in Video
Editor using either the Clip or Time Selection tools.
Using the Clip Selection tool
The Clip Selection tool allows you to select clips in any of the tracks in the
Timeline. You can select individual clips by clicking them. Once you have
selected a clip, you can move it or drag on its borders to trim the clip.
