Working with Media Class 5

Append (add to the end): add your media as the last piece of media in the selected track.

Add to new track: add your media to a newly created track which has no other media.

Trim Video Clips
If you need to trim from the beginning or end of a video clip (or another piece of media), hover your
mouse over the left or right edge of the clip in your timeline until the trim tool shows. Then,
click and drag the edge of your clip forwards or backwards to trim off the unwanted portion.

If you need to cut out a section in the middle of a video clip, drag the playhead to the start point of
the unwanted section and press the scissors icon to split the clip, then drag the playhead to the end
of the unwanted section and press the scissors again. Now that the unwanted section is on its own
you can select it and press the delete icon to remove it.

Filmora9 also has an option for you to ‘quick trim’ from the start or end of a clip. In the timeline,
place the playhead on the frame you want to trim to, right-click on the clip, and select Trim Start to
Playhead or Trim End to Playhead depending on whether you want to delete what is behind the
playhead or in front of it, respectively.
