Simple cut, video only.

[dan crouch]

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.

[Jeremy Garchow]

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.

If I understand the question right isn’t it just
Shift-delete

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?
