The Canvas Two-Up Display

When you drag a clip from the Browser onto a clip or transition in the Timeline, a two-up

display appears in the Canvas. This two-up display shows the frame just before your insert on

the left and the frame after your insert on the right. The clip name of the affected incoming

and outgoing clip appears at the top of each display. Each frame’s timecode appears at the

bottom of the display.

Marking Split Edits

A split edit, or an L-cut edit, is one where the video and audio edit points are in separate

positions. This is useful for editing clips with dialog where the clip’s audio might start or end

at a different time from its corresponding video.

To mark a split edit:

1 Open the clip in the Viewer. Play the clip or move the playhead to the desired position.

2 For each edit point you want to set, choose Mark Split from the Mark menu, and choose a

command from the Mark Split submenu.

You can also access these commands from the shortcut menu on the Scrubber bar in the

Viewer. The edit point is set at the position of the playhead, so you can open the shortcut

menu from anywhere on the Scrubber bar.

To move split edit points:

m Drag either the video or audio In or Out edit point to a new position. The other edit point

follows it.

By default, video or audio In or Out edit points move together.

To move split edit points together:

m Press Shift while dragging any of the edit points. All of the edit points move in unison.

The marked video and audio durations do not change, but the frames that are included in

the marked clip shift forward or backward.
