Someguy Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've used VP off and on over the years so I'm not a complete novice, but I picked it up again today and it feels like whenever I edit the timing of a single clip, it overwrites everything I did before that. It should just edit the length of the *selected* clip but it overwrites other clips in the timeline, very odd functionality... Am I missing something here?

Under the middle of the preview window the clip length is shown. Click on that time and change it as desired. This won't affect the length of other clips. Or drag a clip's border while holding down the <ctrl> key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been adjusting the bracket bars under 'Clip Preview' but again I can confirm that it overwrites my previous clip if I move the red bracket back in time. Is this a bug? In the mean time I've taken to putting every new clip in its own overlay, just so I don't accidentally overlap something, which of course is inefficient.

borate Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Don't trim using the red/blue brackets under clip preview. Drag the left or right margin of the clip as it appears in the time line, while holding down <ctrl>. Or use the first method mentioned above.
