64 VIDEO EDITOR
This will open the Paste Attributes dialog box which allows you to select
individual attributes to paste. When pasting filters, there are two additional
options: Append and Replace. Append adds the new filters to any existing filters
and Replace overwrites any existing filters with those from the pasted clip.
To clear (remove) a clip from the Timeline:
1. Select a clip (or a period of time) on the Timeline.
2. Click Edit: Clear [Delete] or right-click the selected clip and click Clear.
Aligning clips
Snapping helps to align clips precisely and effortlessly. Select Edit: Snap to make
clips snap to the Vertical Preview Line, edge of other clips, transitions, and even
project cues (for more on cues, see
“Working with cues” on page 71 ).
Splitting the audio from video clips
Video clips commonly also have audio. In the Timeline, the accompanying audio
clip is placed into the corresponding audio track (Video1 with Audio1, Video2 with
Audio2) and the two clips are locked together as a unit. To delete or move either of
the clips separately, the two must first be split. This is useful when you are
creating a music video and the audio track is not needed. You will also need to split
the audio from a video clip in order to perform a freeze frame effect (see
“Freezing a frame” on page 68 ).
To split the audio from video clips:
1. Select the clip.
2. Click Clip: Split (or right-click a selected clip and, from the pop-up menu,
select Split).
• This does not affect the source files in any way.
• If clearing a period of time, any clips that are included in the time selection
are removed. (Clips partially selected are trimmed to the selection
boundary.)
• If you do not want to create an empty clip or time slot, make sure that the
Single-Track or Multi-Track Ripple Editing button on the Timeline
Toolbar is selected (see
“Ripple Editing” on page 82 ). The next time you use
the Clear command any following clips will move backward to the left to
occupy the vacated space.
