Basic Timeline Editing

Learn to arrange tracks and clips, trim edits, use markers and snapping, navigate the timeline and safely undo changes.

Timeline anatomy

  • Video tracks hold visual items such as video, images, text, shapes, captions, and adjustment layers.

  • Audio tracks hold audio clips and linked audio from video files.

  • Markers, in/out points, snapping, and zoom controls sit around the timeline surface.

Basic edits

  • Drag clips from the Media panel to tracks.

  • Use selection and linked selection to move video and audio together or separately.

  • Split clips at the playhead or cursor.

  • Join adjacent clip sections when they can be rejoined.

  • Use Delete for removal and Ripple Delete when the gap should close.
