Defining a range of media in the Viewer using In and Out points


When scrubbing or shuttling through the Timeline as you drag the ruler to the left and right, you can press the I (In) or O (Out) keys to define a range for incoming edit operations. The range is marked in both the upper and lower areas of the Timeline.

Setting In and Out Points Using the Pointer

If you’re using a pointing device such as a mouse, trackpad or tablet, you can drag the In and Out handles found underneath the scroll area at the bottom of the Viewer to define a range of media.

Once you’ve set In and Out points, the jog In and Out controls, located at the far left and right of the scroll area in the Viewer, let you fine-tune the location of the In and Out points. Click and drag on the Jog In or Jog Out controls to move either edit point in precise increments. While you drag, a filmstrip above shows you how many frames you’re trimming.
