Trimming a clip

With the RMI tool, you can trim a clip prior to import. To use the Trim operation, you must be logged on with a user account to which the Trim Rights role is assigned. If the role is not assigned, the Trim operation is not available.

On the RMI list, select the clip that you want to trim.
Drag the clip from the RMI tool and drop it into the Inspector.
Navigate to the desired starting point using the scrub bar, and click the Mark In button. ( I)
Navigate to the desired end-point using the scrub bar, and click the Mark Out button. ( O) Where timecode is displayed you can also right-click the timecode type label and select Clear Marks to clear all current in/out marks.
Click the Actions drop-down arrow and select Trim Asset.
You can see the new duration and the scissor icon within the RMI list to signify that it is a trimmed clip.

However, ejecting or reinserting the disk will erase those mark points.

Note: Trimming is only supported with individual clips.
