Hi,
I think you are using the wrong sequence to accomplish cutting out bad segments. On your timeline there are frame indicators that are a goldy color (scrubbers) there is one to mark the begin and another for the end., when you get to your bad segment mark the start and the end ( it should be hilighted) then you can either delete or copy it.
The module your are working is to crop a segment as a ratio of the image (footage, like zooming in to that area).

Hi, James1

Thanks for taking the time to address my query.

I'm new to this video business and a total neophyte with PD. Maybe I have my terms confused, but I would guess that you're describing an edit. I want to reduce the visible area on the whole video sequence, which I'm referring to as a crop.

I found the wherewithal to view, yet again, a PD Toots tutorial on video cropping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lsn369hlk and noticed - for the first time - the step that allows one to advance the video to the end of the segment one wants to crop, and select the "repeat previous frame" option. This retains the crop as set without the zoom effect.

Hey!... I just answered my own question!

Hi,
Ok the main thing is you solved the problem...I find PD is a great program once you get the sequence (if I can call them that) figured out. The forum members are here to help whenever possible...
