Split a Clip

The Split tool divides one clip into two clips. You can move and edit each clip separately. Split clips to insert transitions, title slides, or graphics between scenes. Use the split tool when you do not want to cut or trim any of the clip.

You cannot split callouts or transitions on the Timeline.

Edits on the Timeline do not affect the clips in the Clip Bin. The Clip Bin maintains the original files.

1.	Lock any tracks on the Timeline that contain clips or elements you do not want to cut.

2.	Position the playhead on the Timeline.

3.	Click Split or press S. The clip splits into two separate clips.

Use caution when arranging and editing the split clips on the Timeline. Both clips have the same name.
