Clip Length/Trimmer?

[Guernseypilot]

Hi All,

Been making good progress finding my way around Sweetlight and very pleased with it so far. Trying to get to grips with the TimeLine feature but not been so lucky.

If I put a simple light scene on the time line how do I alter it's length? It's easy to position it where you want it triggered but the scene takes up the whole remainder of the time line with no apparent end! How can we set the duration of a clip or cut it at an exact point?

I suppose I'm hoping to use it much like any other video/audio editor but not sure it's that flexible?

Not many timeline tutorials around apart from v6 it seems...

Any tips gratefully received...

Jason.

Well I've just watched Mikey Mike's demo and I've probably answered some of my questions now, off to have a play with it!

How can we set the duration of a clip or cut it at an exact point?

There are two ways:
1. Set another scene behind it, this will stop the other one and immediately start the next.
2. Use 'stop' tool. Right click and drag the stop tool behind the scene just where you want the scene to stop.

Have fun and just ask if there are more questions!
