Parts of Editor
The editor is made up of various parts:
1)
Timeline
- This includes the black bar that lists where you are in the video, in minutes and seconds, as well as the thumbnail pictures of the video.
2)
Playhead
- The vertical, thin, blue line that indicates what section of the video is currently showing. The
Playhead
will move as video progresses, and you can also move the
Playhead
manually, to quickly get to an exact section. You can also click on the top of the
Timeline
, to quickly jump to that location.
3)
Zoom
- The circular buttons with a "+" or "-" sign in them can be used to disclose more or less thumbnails. The more thumbnails you can see, the easier it will be to select an exact part of the video. The less thumbnails you can see, the easier it will be to view more of the
Timeline
at once.
4)
Segment
- Each video starts out with only one
Segment
. If you split the video into multiple parts, then each fractional
Segment
can be treated independently. You can resize, move and delete a
Segment
. The end of a
Segment
has rounded corners.
5)
Selection
- Any part of the
Timeline
that is highlighted light blue is a
Selection
. Click on a
Segment
of video to make it a
Selection
.
6)
Tag Editor
- This button looks like a lowercase "i", and it opens up a window where you can add or adjust the
Tags
for the current video.
7)
Go To Beginning
- This button will immediately move the playhead to the beginning of the video.
8)
Fast Rewind
- This button will play the video backwards, at fast speed.
9)
Play
- This button will play the video at normal speed.
10)
Fast Forward
- This button will play the video forwards, at fast speed.
11)
Current Time
- This display will show the current position in the video, in minutes and seconds.
12)
Mute
- This button will turn the playback of audio off, and on again. It will not permanently remove any audio from the video.
13)
Split Segment At Playhead
- This button looks like a pair of scissors, and it will split a segment into two parts, starting at the current
Playhead
location.
14)
Delete
- This button looks like a trash can, and it will delete the currently selected
Segment
. If you use the
Delete
button by accident, you have the option of using the
Undo
command to restore the missing
Segment
. You can also use the
Revert to Original
command to change the video back to its original form.
Resize Segment
If you grab either end of any video segment, you can resize it to a smaller length.
This would be the most direct way to remove content from your video.
However, the video is not actually gone just yet - you can always resize the segment back to its original length.
When you
Share
video that has shortened segments, the missing (non-visible) content will not be shared.
Split Segment At Playhead
To split a video segment into two smaller segments, you can use the
Split Segment At Playhead
command.
Move the playhead to the point where you want the split to happen.
Then, use the button with an icon on a pair of scissors on it to split it.
Move Segment
To move a video segment, you first must have two or more video segments.
Then, click and hold on a segment for a few seconds, until your cursor turns into a hand.
While holding the segment, move it to the left or right on your timeline, until it snaps into its new position.
