Exercise 4.4.3 Joining a Through Edit
In the previous exercise, you used the Blade and Select tools to divide a clip into segments. The resulting through edits may be easily repaired if you made them in error or change your mind about splitting up a clip.
In your project, locate MVI_1044, and then press Command-= (equals) to zoom in.
In the Tools pop-up menu, choose the Blade tool, or press B.
Skim toward the end of the clip just after Mitch says, “New,” and then pauses.
The audio waveform displays a definite pause, represented as a “valley” in the waveform.
Click in this waveform valley to blade the clip and create a through edit.
The through edit point appears as a dashed line. Because we really did not want to split this clip, you are going to rejoin the through edit.
Press A to choose the Select tool.
With the Select tool, click the through edit point (dashed line) to select it.
Only one side of the through edit will be selected with the Select tool active. That’s OK.
Press Delete.
The through edit point is removed and the two segments are rejoined into one clip.
