Cutting and Copying
There are two main ways to cut a strip. The Shift+K key combination cuts the strip destructively at the current
frame. This type of cut is destructive in the sense that both of the resulting cut parts are incomplete, exactly as
if you cut actual video or film. The K key on its own, on the other hand, cuts the strip nondestructively, in that
both of the resulting cut portions are not incomplete; they are merely truncated to the point where the cut was
made. You can see the difference between destructive and nondestructive cuts, performed simultaneously on
audio and video strips, in Figure 11-13 . Note that in the nondestructive case, a representation of the continued
clip can be seen extending from each cut part to the point where the truncated clip actually extends. (A color
version of this figure is included in the topic's color insert.) Figure 11-14 shows a nondestructively cut video
strip with the two parts separated. You can see the continuations of the strips clearly here. Extending the strip
by moving the strip end will reveal the original clip.
Strips can be duplicated with Shift+D and deleted with the X key.
