How do I edit a media item?

Trimming a media item will alter the source media permanently. Clipping a media item creates a copy of a segment of that media item and will not alter the source media.

To trim media or to create a clip, you must first define the range you want to keep or make a clip from.

You can set the range in one of the following ways:

1. Enter a start time or end time in the Real-Time Input field, and press Enter. The Real-Time marker will position itself on the timeline at the manually set time. You can then drag either handlebar on the Timeline edge to snap it to the real time marker.
2. Click anywhere on the Timeline, the real time marker will position itself there. Drag either Timeline edge to snap it to the real time marker.
3. Play the media, and pause on desired time. the Real-Time marker will position itself at that time. Drag either Timeline handlebar to snap it to the real time marker.
4. When arrows are displayed on the Real-Time marker, you can move the Real Time marker on the timeline to a different position, either backwards or forwards.
