Video Preview
The video preview section in the Magic Search interface allows you to view clips that match your search criteria. Once you have entered your search term in the search bar and clicked the Search button, the matching clips will appear.
To the right of the search bar, you will see a video preview of the selected clip. This area includes playback controls, such as play/pause, volume control, and a progress bar, which are located directly below the video preview.
The play/pause button allows you to start or stop the video playback.
The volume control lets you adjust the sound level of the video clip.
The progress bar shows the current position within the video, which you can drag to seek to different parts of the clip.
Below the playback controls, you will find fields for Clip start and Duration. These fields display the current start time and duration of the clip, and you can adjust these values to trim the video to your desired segment. Once you have set the start time and duration, you can use the Reset button to revert any changes or the Save Clip button to save the edited clip to your library.
Preview Clips Before Editing!
Previewing clips is essential to ensure you're editing the right sections. Use the playback controls like play, pause, and volume to get a better look at your footage.
Clip Start and Duration
To adjust the start time and duration of your clip, you will use the fields labeled Clip start and Duration. These fields are located below the video preview in the Magic Search interface.
The Clip start field allows you to set the starting point of your video clip. You can enter the exact timestamp where you want your clip to begin. The Duration field lets you specify the length of the clip from the starting point. You can enter how long you want the clip to run, which will automatically adjust the endpoint.
Once you have set the desired start time and duration, you can use the Save Clip button to save these settings. This will store the trimmed clip with the specified parameters in your library. If you want to revert any changes, you can use the Reset button. This button will clear the fields and return the clip to its original settings.
By using these fields and buttons, you can fine-tune your video clips to meet your specific needs, making it easier to create polished and precise video content.
