To trim a media item or track from both the start and the finish at the same time follow this sequence:
- Select the media item (or items). 2. Click and drag in the track background area to select the area that you want to keep. 3. Right click over a selected media item and choose Trim items to selected area. If Ripple Editing is turned on, the area that is trimmed will also be removed from the timeline, otherwise some empty space will be left. If your Snap/Grid Settings are set to include Media Items, then provided that snapping is enabled, snapping will be applied when you select the area to be trimmed.
Tip: The action list includes two actions which allow you to click your edit cursor on an item, then trim the item removing either everything before or after the cursor. These are:
Item: Trim items left of cursor, and
Item: Trim items right of cursor
For more information about the Action List see Chapter 15.
