Overview
After you've added a video asset 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.
Trimming removes footage from the beginning and end of the video asset, not the middle.
Note:
If you need to trim a video in WebM format, see Trimming a Video Asset (WebM).
