Filmora pro video editor advanced editing effects and motion graphics made easy this series of tutorials are going to show you the basics of editing in filmora pro from start to finish hi everyone my name is Johnny and in this tutorial.

We will go deeper into the advanced editing options we'll learn about the overlay and insert clip options the track options the tools in the editor panel and the ripple delete option when we are editing there are several advanced tools we can use to speed up our process and make it more precise when working in the trimmer after setting the in and out points we can place this selected part of the clip in between other clips on the timeline to do this we should place the timeline playhead where.

We want to place the end point and click the insert clip or the overlay clip icons or using the hotkeys B or n respectively this will place the selected section of the clip in the first track on the timeline wherever the playhead is located if we already have another clip in that place the insert clip option will split every clip where the playhead is and move every track on the right just enough to fit this new clip in conversely the overlay option will erase enough space of the existing clip in the first track to fit in the new one.

When working on the editor panel we can make a complete track invisible by clicking on this icon shaped like an eye to make it visible again we can just click it again we can also rename our tracks to optimize our workflow better by right-clicking on the tracks name and then clicking on rename track we can put colors on this clip to identify them faster by right-clicking on the clip and going to label and selecting the color we want if we go to the upper part of this panel we'll find a variety of tool icons first.

We have the undo and redo arrows we can also use those with the hotkeys ctrl or command Z to undo and control our command shift Z to redo next we have the selection tool which is already selected by default we can hold click on it and another tool option will drop down there we can select the drag tool which we can click on or select by pressing the H key this tool is made to navigate around the timeline without modifying the Edit next we have the slice tool shortcut C with this tool selected.

We can click on any audio or video clip to split it if we want the cut to be across all of the tracks we can hold the Alt key while we click next we have the slip tool or hotkey Y this tool will let us slide the in and out points of the clip without changing its position or length in the timeline by clicking and dragging to the left or to the right we can slip while using these tools the viewer will display information for reference such as the in and out frames the adjacent clip frames and time codes if we click and hold on the slip tool will see more menu options drop down.

Which we can click on this is the slider tool hotkey you this tool lets us move a clip in the timeline adapting the adjacent clips to the same track to avoid any gaps appearing next we have the ripple edit tool this tool lets us trim a clip by maintaining the original position of its end point on the timeline adjusting every clip on the right to avoid leaving gaps or overlaps the role edit tool shortcut e lets us modify the cut between two adjacent Clips without altering anything else the rate stretch tool hotkey s will let us stretch or squish a clip in the timeline modifying its speed instead of its in and out points this next icon.

will let us activate or deactivate the snapping option by default when we're editing the tracks they'll tend to stick to the playhead or align to the beginning or end of the other tracks showing a red line if we deactivate this feature this won't happen and the gear icon will open the project settings.

We've seen already in previous tutorials to delete an empty space we can right click on it and then click on ripple delete gap this will move all the clips on the right of the gap to the left to fill this gap we can also delete a clip without leaving a gap by right-clicking on it and then on ripple delete object all clips on the right of this clip will move to the left so there's no gap remaining so those are all the tools you can use in the film or a pro editor to learn more about filmora pro make sure to check out our other tutorials there's no limit to what you can makel you.
