Marking In and Out Points
If you want to use only a portion of a clip, you can set an In and Out point in the clip, and then add the edited clip to the sequence that accompanies your story. By default, In and Out points are set at the first frame and last frame of a clip. You can mark In and Out points only in Asset mode.
The following illustration shows the buttons in the Media pane that you use with In and Out points
1 | Play In to Out | 4 | Mark Out |
