Editing Tips
Editing Objects on the Timeline
You can directly select and edit clips,
markers, effects/activeness bars on the
timeline. Each of these give different
results when they’re manipulated. Also,
the different Ripple settings can have a
large impact on your editing.
When manipulating objects on the
timeline, the magnetism of the object
you’re dragging is attracted to other
objects in close proximity, helping you
align clips with other clips/markers. To
temporarily deactivate magnetism, press Shift as you drag an object. To completely deactivate magnetism,
click Timeline Magnetism on the NLE Tools toolbar.
