You can trim an event beyond its end, extending it as a result. Once extended, the event loops by default. A notch indicates where 
the looped event repeats. 

Alternately, you can turn looping off and make the last frame of an event’s media repeat for the duration of the event (a freeze 
frame). A notch appears at the point in the event where the video ends and the freeze frame begins. 

You can trim adjacent events simultaneously. Press Ctrl+Alt while dragging the common edge between two adjacent events. The 
trim adjacent cursor appears (

). 

Trimming events removes all media outside the time selection. The removed information is not placed on the clipboard. Trimming 
is different from cutting in that the events within the time selection are preserved. 

Select a time range. For more information, see 

Press Ctrl+T or, from the Edit menu, choose Trim. 

The material outside the time selection (across all tracks) is removed from the project. However, the time information (space) 
between events is not removed.

Trimmed information is not 
placed on the Clipboard. 

You can create multiple, independently functioning events from a single event by splitting it. Splitting creates a new ending point  
for the original event and creates a starting point for the newly created event.  

Splitting an event does not alter the original media. The original media file’s information is there, but is omitted for playback based
on where the event’s starting or ending point occurs on the timeline.  

When split, the two new events are flush against one another. The two events can be moved independently.
