Defining trim options
While trimming is a basic operation, it does have more advanced features.
The effect of trimming on neighboring clips is determined by the Trim
Options. Select Edit: Trim Options to choose the following:
• Normal allows you to trim a clip only within the available free clip slot.
• Overwrite allows you to trim a clip so that it extends over a neighboring
clip, thereby replacing the overlapped portion with the new clip (if you
then trim the clip back it will still leave an empty slot).
• Stitch allows you to trim a clip over another, trimming the neighboring
clip instead of overwriting it (if you then trim the clip back it will reveal
the underlying portion of the other clip which is then "untrimmed"). This
is useful if you want to merge two clips together and need to see the
frames of each clip in the Trim window. (If the two clips are not adjacent
you can only trim the active clip to the duration of the clip slot.)

Smart Trim
The trimming procedures described on the preceding pages are completely
nondestructive 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. From the File menu, select
Smart: Smart Trim. In the dialog box that opens, you can select the clip or
clips that you want to permanently alter.
