CHAPTER 3: EDITING 79
Smart Trim
The trimming procedures described on the preceding pages are completely non-
destructive and do not affect the original source files in any way. While this is a
major advantage to editing video on a computer, there may be times where,
because of a lack of free hard disk space, you want to actually trim your source
files according to your edits.
In the Project menu, select Smart: Smart Trim. In the dialog box that opens,
you can select the clip or clips that you want to permanently alter.
Multi-trim Video
Sometimes, marking only the start and the end points to trim a clip just isn’t
enough. There could be situations when you will need to mark multiple start/end
points. Let’s say you recorded a TV program and you want to trim out all the nine
commercials in the clip. For that, you will need to use the Multi-trim Video
function available from the Production Library toolbar.
