- First, position the playhead where you want the cut to start (e.g. 00:00:15)
- Click the mark-in button. This will place the mark-in point at the current playhead position
- Then, position the playhead where you want the cut to end
- Click the mark-out button. This will place the mark-out point at the current playhead position
- When you are happy with the position of your mark-in and mark-out points for the cut, click the Cut button
- The cut area(s) will appear grey on the timeline (see 'Clearing cuts' image).
Clearing cuts (Undoing edits)
To undo individual cuts, simply double-click on the grey area to restore the segment.
When you have made multiple cuts throughout the timeline you can choose to clear all cuts made to the timeline to restore all segments cut out of the timeline.
To do this, click the Clear Cuts button at the bottom of the application window. A popup will ask you to confirm your selection, click yes to confirm.
