    Can anyone help with this VERY basic question.
    I simply need to cut a section of wobbly camera work out of a section in my sequence and leave a blank space to be filled in later. Is the only way to do, ‘detach audio’ then cut it with the blade?

    Seems a little laboursome.

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Select clip

    Control-s.

    P

    Trim video

    Unfortunately, you can’t mute video only. It’s really weird.

    Sorry Jeremy, I didn’t understand that.

    Control – s, then press p?

    Would you mind telling me again in super simple terms?

    Thanks v much,
    Dan.

    Yes.

    Press control-s with the clip selected. This expands audio/video.

    P chooses the position tool.

    Trim the video only and it will leave a gap behind.

    You could also bring the opacity of that area in question down to zero. Or put a black generator connected to the area.

    Thanks for that,
    I actually need to cut a chunk out of the middle of the clip, trimming is good but only if I want to get rid of stuff at the head or tail of a clip. Or am I being v stupid?

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Is the clip in the primary?

    Cut the clip are the beginning of the area.

    Then follow the steps above.

    Basically, you are leaving the audio behind and replacing video with a gap.

    Hi Jari,
    I am just trying to cut out a section of video and leave the audio intact. I have a tiny bit of camera wobble I want to cut out, then fill it in with b roll later.

    Shift delete takes out both audio and video.

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Choose clip and use “Open in timeline” then select the range in video and then shift-delete?
