Using the Trim Functions
Clips can be trimmed using either the Trim tool or the Trim command. The
Trim functions allow you to shorten or lengthen clips as desired by trimming
their heads or tails.
The Trim Tool
The Trim tool can be used to dynamically adjust the length of a clip. By
trimming the head or tail of a clip, you can eliminate unwanted audio that
precedes or follows any audio that you want to retain.
