ENCORE CS3 122 User Guide Editing assets in timelines View the properties of a clip Once you add an asset to a timeline, it becomes a clip (video, audio, subtitle, or still-image clip), and the Properties panel displays the relevant information about it. You can use an asset multiple times in a project. Although the asset itself appears only once in the Project panel, each occurrence in a timeline is a unique clip with its own properties. Audio and video properties in Properties panel ❖ Select the clip in the timeline. Encore displays the clip properties in the Properties panel. Note: The Encoded option shows the size of the clip after transcoding or the estimated size if not yet transcoded. See also "About closed captions" on page 151 Trim video and audio clips in timelines You can trim video and audio clips directly in the timeline or by editing the Duration timecode in the Properties panel. You can trim the In point or Out point of a clip, but if you need to remove a section from the middle of a clip or make more advanced edits, use the Edit Original command to edit the clip in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 or Adobe After Effects CS3. 1 Open the timeline containing the video or audio clip you want to trim (or click its tab in the Timeline Viewer if it is already open). 2 Do one of the following: • Position the Direct Select tool pointer over the end of the clip that you want to trim. The pointer changes to a red bracket. Drag the end of the clip to the desired location to increase or decrease its length.
