● Select the clip you want to use and click the ‘+’ sign in the top
right hand corner to add it, or simply drag it to your timeline.
● Resize the timeline with the scroll wheel on a mouse or the
magnifying glass slider on the bottom right corner.



Trimming Clips
● To trim a clip, select it and drag the handle at the beginning
or end to trim. This will shorten the clip at the start and/or
end of your video.

● Use the “nudge” arrows on the black bars for fine tune
adjustments of tenths of a second.

transition of your choice between two clips in the timeline.

Adding Text or Titles to Your Video
● Click the text button in the editor, and drag a text overlay of
your choice to the clip you want text to appear on

● Tip: Text will appear over the whole clip, and there is no
way to adjust time, so split a clip to the length of time you
want and add text to that!

the enhancement window in the top right corner.

project timeline



Adjusting Music Tracks
