Trim and Split a Clip's Timeline

Create shorter highlights or remove unwanted footage from any part of the recording in the Editor using the timeline's trimming handles and the Split tool. When you export the clip, Riverside only includes the timeline sections highlighted in purple that you have not removed.

You can also edit the clip's timeline using the text transcript.

Open a Recording in the Editor

1. On a computer, log in to your Riverside account.
2. Under Studios, click the relevant Studio.
3. Click the relevant recording.
4. In the top right corner, click Go to editor.
   Or scroll to Clips and click a clip with a Draft or Magic Clip label.

Split

5. Click or drag the playhead scrubber to a point on the timeline.
   
6. Above the timeline, click Split or press the S key on your keyboard.
   The clip or selected section is divided at the playhead.
7. Click a section to select it and click  Remove to cut it from the current clip.

Trim

8. Click and drag the trimming handles to adjust the in- and out-points of each section.
   

When you play back the recording in the Editor or export the clip, all removed sections are skipped.

TIP: Restore a section
To restore a section you removed, drag the trimming handles of the neighboring sections back together or click Undo.
