Removing unused frames from source clipsEditing a video program means putting the best segments of the original clips into the program. Sometimes, the clips you use in the final program are only small portions of the original clips. Because video clips can take up large amounts of hard disk space, you can trim the project so that unused frames are removed. Project trimming is especially useful before archiving a completed project. When you trim a project, Adobe Premiere first creates a copy of the project. In the new project, each clip's original In and Out points become the new beginning and ending of the clip, respectively. Clips that weren't used in the original project aren't copied into the new project. Premiere can also create trimmed copies of the source clips. You can preserve extra frames (called handles) before the In point and after the Out point of each trimmed clip. To trim a project:
Note: Adding handles after trimming a project a second time will offset your In and Out points. |
