Tap a clip in the timeline to reveal the inspector at the bottom of the screen, tap the Actions button, then tap Split. Tip: Make sure the playhead isn’t positioned at the very beginning of the clip. With your project open, scroll the timeline to position the playhead where you want to split a video clip. When you split a clip, you can adjust the duration of each section, remove unwanted sections, or add different titles to each section. You can then move or edit the duplicate clip separately from the original. You can create a copy of any video clip in the timeline for use in another place in your project. A duplicate clip is added to the timeline after the original clip. Repeat this gesture as many times as necessary to achieve the orientation you want. It may take a moment for the clip to appear rotated in the viewer. When the white arrow appears, the video clip has been rotated 90 degrees. In the viewer, move your finger and thumb in a clockwise or counterclockwise twisting motion over the video image. With your project open, scroll the timeline until the clip you want to rotate appears in the viewer.

You can rotate a video clip in 90-degree increments, clockwise or counterclockwise. To learn more about how to manipulate photos in your movie, see Adjust effects in the viewer.

With your project open, touch and hold the video clip or photo in the timeline until it pops off the timeline.ĭrag the video clip or photo to a new location in the timeline, and release.
