muti-trim in DVD Workshop 2.0 possible ?

[mrhata]

I just got DVD Workshop 2.0 and ma having a hard time editing imported videos. I used the trial version of MovieFactory 3, and that program has an easy "multi-trim" feature to edit and remove unwanted scenes.

Is there an easy way to do something similar in DVD Workshop 2.0?
So far the trim feature only removes beginning and ends of videos.

I thing thats all you can do,is trim beginning and end and split titles.

Trimming titles or audio clips
Your captured videos may have excess footage at the beginning or at the end that you may want to remove. The Navigation Panel allows you to trim your videos as accurately as possible.

To trim using the Jog Bar and Mark-in/Mark-out buttons:

1. Drag the Jog Bar or click Previous or Next on the Navigation Panel to move to the frame where you want the clip to start. This will be your mark-in point.

2. Click Mark-in or press [F3] to set the mark-in point.



3. Move to the frame where you want the clip to end. This will be your mark-out point.

4. Click Mark-out or press [F4] to set the mark-out point.



To trim using the Trim Bar:

1. Select the video clip you want to trim.

2. To set the mark-in time, drag the left Trim Bar slider to the desired position. The Mark-in time is displayed in the Options Panel.

3. To set the mark-out time, drag the right Trim Bar slider to the desired position. The Mark-out time is displayed in the Options Panel.



Note: To preview the trimmed clips, hold down [Shift] and click Play on the Navigation Panel at the same time.

Cutting titles
You can split a single video clip into two separate titles with different starting and ending points. The mark-in and mark-out points of each new title is determined by the position of the Jog Bar in the Navigation Panel.

Refer to the example below for the process of cutting titles. We have labeled the original mark-in of the title as point A, its mark-out point as point B, and the Jog Bar position as point C.



Using the Jog Bar, go to the frame where you want to split your title then click Cut Title in the Options Panel.

Two new titles with different mark-in and mark-out points are displayed in the Title List.



Check the mark-in and mark-out fields in the Options Panel. You will see that the mark-in of the first new title is A and its mark-out C, while the mark-in of the second new title is C, and its mark-out is B.

You can split these two new titles further by selecting one, moving the Jog Bar to another position, and repeating the whole process.



Note: Cut Title is only applicable to video clips. Displayed above are the mark-in and mark-out times of the first (left) and second new title (right). Notice that the mark-out time on the left is the same as the mark-in time on the right.

Deleting titles
Delete titles in the Title List that you do not want to include in your project. There are two ways of deleting a title in the Title List:

Right-click a title in the Title List then select Delete.
Select a title in the Title List then press [Delete].

Thats what I thought.
I really wished they had the multi-trim feature.
I saw those in the manual too, I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips or tricks to work around that.

Thank you all.

I agree. It's not nearly as intuitive as in MovieFactory 3.
