Hi all,

I can't work out how to do a slip edit in Power Director.

i.e. I'd like to be able to select a clip, then scroll it back and forward so that the in points and out points from the 'mother' clip changes, either bringing it in earlier or later.

(I don't mean changing the clip length, I mean visually being able to scroll it back and forth within its existing length).

Thanks for any help you can give!

No unique feature to do this. You can kind of do it with the trim feature, (scissors above time line). Select the clip, then the scissors, note the duration in the upper right corner, move in and out sliders to slip the contents, adjust for same duration.

Ah yes, I see. It's a workaround, fine, I'll do that!

Thanks for your help!

When you first make a time duration selection in the trimmer (example 5:00 seconds) and than activate the lock beside the Mark-IN and Mark-OUT button, you can slip edit by moving the blue bar in the timeline with your mouse.
