Note

  • [Remove cut points] is available only when neighboring clips are referencing the same source.

  • When combining clips, if individual effects (e.g. video filter) or layouts have been applied to the clips before combining, the effect of clips placed to the leftmost side of the timeline are applied to clips after combining and other effects are deleted.

  • The two clips before combining cannot be combined if their playback speed is different. Also, the settings of clips from the second clip from the left and onwards are discarded if a time remap has been set.

  • When combining clips, the rubber band setting before combining is maintained. Note, however, that priority is given to the settings of subsequent clips when the rubber band points of the combined section are out-of-position.
