Editing video clips in the Video Import wizard

The Video Import wizard provides editing options that let you edit embedded video as you import it. You can select in and out points for a clip, create multiple clips from one imported clip, and select other editing options. Editing as you import video clips is especially useful with raw footage.

To edit an embedded video clip:

  1. Import an embedded video clip (see Importing embedded video files).
  2. Select Edit the Video First and click Next to open the Editing pane of the Video Import wizard.
  3. To browse frames in the video, do one of the following:
    • Drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.
    • Click the Play button to move forward and the Pause button to stop at the desired frame.
    • Click the Backward and Forward buttons in the Controller to move forward or backward one frame at a time.
  4. To set the in and out points (beginning and ending frames), do one of the following:
    • Drag the in and out points (the triangles below the scrubber bar).
    • Click the In or Out button in the button controls below the scrubber bar to set the beginning or ending frame at the current location of the playhead.
  5. To play the video, do one of the following:
    • Click the Play button in the button controls to play the video from the current playhead position.
    • Click Preview to play the video with the current in and out points.

      Note: Click the Stop button in the button controls to stop video playback.

  6. To create a clip with the current in and out points, click Create Clip. The clip appears in the scroll pane at the left of the Editing pane.

    To create additional clips from the same file, select in and out points for the clips as described in step 4, and click Create Clip again.

  7. To rename a clip, select it in the scroll pane and enter the new name.
  8. To re-edit a clip, select it in the scroll pane. Select new in and out points as described in step 4, and click Update Clip.
  9. To combine all clips in the scroll pane into a single clip for import, select Combine List of Clips into a Single Library Item After Import.
  10. To change the order of clips in the scroll pane, select a clip in the scroll pane and click the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button.

    Note: The order of clips in the scroll pane is the order in which clips will be appear if you combine them into a single clip for import.

  11. To delete a clip from the scroll pane, select the clip and click the Delete (-) button.
  12. When you have completed the editing process, click Next to advance to the next pane in the Video Import wizard.
