Thread: trimming in sony vegas 7

hey all, i am new to sony vegas and i want to cut out a small section in the middle of a video clip but when i go to trimmer and add in the video and highlight the part i want removing, i cant seem to find an option to cut it..

please help

You are correct. You can't remove from within Trimmer.

You "Trim" in Trimmer.

Meaning, I can scrub a selection Trimming-UPTO the beginning of the outtake - call this A - and drag that portion A to the timeline. Then move to the other-side of the outtake, where I can scrub a selection Trimming-AWAY FROM the end of the outtake - call this B - and drag this remaining portion of the Clip to the Main Timeline.

I scrub what I want and drag this Trimmed portion to Timeline.

Now, there are some nifty To- and From-cursor icons to do this and also the key-presses. I find it far more satisfying to do the method I outlined. It is faster and I find gets me into a real rhythm.

Grazie

oh thanks alot, it worked
