Fast clipping

Use Media tab at bottom of the screen.
Use media storage window on the left to select video files.
You can right click → add to pool on files.
Use J K L buttons to rewind clip and press more times for more speed.
To make a clip - use I - In-Point for start of fragment and O - OutPoint for end of fragment.
Next press F9 to insert fragment into timeline.

My way

With Duration Markers the fast workflow is:
0. Assign a shortcut to “Convert In/Out To Duration Marker”

  1. Browse clip in viewer
  2. Set in/out pair 1
  3. Hit the shortcut to make a Duration Marker, then optionally hit Shift+M to bring up the Edit Marker dialogue to set name, keywords, and/or marker colour.
  4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for multiple other in/out pairs

If you see “Media offline” but audio is working, then install HEVC codec for Windows and reboot PC

  • Used media and trim keeping 30 frame handles
  • Relink to new files

I got crashes with 30 frame handles, 0 frame handles helped

Changing from project to timeline and 0 frame handles fixed problem I had in fresh project but with only two move files. Unfortunately it didn’t work again and still crashed.
