Range chips

Drag a range on the footage and act on it: speed, zoom, cut or title.

Drag across the footage on the Video row and a row of chips appears once the range is at least 0.15 s long. Each chip acts on exactly that stretch.

On plain footage:

  • 2× and 4× play the range at that speed.
  • Zoom adds a zoom fitted to the range and selects it.
  • Cut removes the range from the take.
  • Title adds a text layer across the range, reading Title, and opens it for typing.

Over a speed band:

  • 1× clears the speed over the range.
  • 2× and 4× set that rate over the range.
  • Remove removes the speed band.

Press Escape to let the range go without acting. A plain click selects the clip instead, and ⌥-drag on the footage reorders the clips rather than selecting a range.
