After you've uploaded a video (from your computer or the stock libraries) to a scene, you may want to trim parts of it off and keep only the footage that is relevant to your story. You can do this easily with SundaySky's trimming tool.

To trim a video asset:

1.

From the scene line-up, select the scene with the video that you want to trim.
2.

Select (by clicking) the video asset to display the media editing toolbar.
