The timeline and different ways to save
Timeline placement and source range
Timeline placement determines where an item appears in the finished video. The item’s start and end specify which part of the original video or audio is used.
Fit the whole item or fill the frame
Fit shows the entire item, with margins if the aspect ratio differs. Fill removes margins, but may crop the edges of the item.
Exporting video and saving work
Export creates a video for playback or sharing. Saving a project lets you reopen your edits, and may require choosing the original media again.
