Move and trim clips in the multitrack display

Move a clip

Drag it left or right. Or, to place a clip more precisely, enter a specific Start or End Time in the Properties panel (Window > Properties).

By default, clips snap to edges of clips on other tracks. To temporarily disable snapping while moving or trimming clips, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS). To permanently disable snapping, deselect View > Snapping > Enabled.

Trim a clip

You can readjust the trim points for multitrack clips at any time.

Position the pointer over the left or right edge of the clip, and drag.

To trim a clip with maximum precision, double-click it to enter single-clip editing mode, and drag the trim handles at either end of the file.
