<p>As the name implies, splitting a clip divides it into two adjacent clips, with new beginning/end
points being created accordingly.</p>
<p>In <app>Pitivi</app>, splitting is a “non-modal” operation; this means that you do not have to
“activate” a particular tool before doing the split action. Splitting occurs where the playhead is currently
located (see also <link xref="movearoundtimeline">Moving the playhead</link>). Combined with zooming,
frame-by-frame seeking with the keyboard or scrubbing, modeless splitting is not only fast and efficient, it
is also very accurate.</p>
- <p>Selections affect splitting in the following ways:</p>
- <list>
- <item><p>Only the selected clips under the playhead will be split.</p></item>
- <item><p>If no clips are selected, all the clips under the playhead will be split.</p></item>
- </list>
- <p>To split a single clip:</p>
- <steps>
- <item><p>Click on the clip.</p></item>
- <item><p>Reposition the playhead (if needed).</p></item>
- <item><p>Click on the <gui>Split</gui> button on the timeline toolbar or press <key>S</key>.</p></item>
- </steps>
- <p>To split all the clips across the all layers:</p>
+ <p>For example, to split a single clip:</p>
<steps>
- <item><p>Click on a blank area of the timeline (this will deselect all selected clips, if
any).</p></item>
- <item><p>Reposition the playhead (if needed).</p></item>
- <item><p>Click on the <gui>Split</gui> button on the timeline toolbar or press <key>S</key>.</p></item>
- </steps>
- <p>To split multiple selected clips:</p>
- <steps>
- <item><p>Position the playhead where you want to split.</p></item>
- <item><p>Add or remove clips to the selection with the <key>Ctrl</key> modifier key. This will not
affect the playhead's position.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Click on the clip to select it.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Reposition the playhead where you want to split (if needed).</p></item>
<item><p>Click on the <gui>Split</gui> button on the timeline toolbar or press <key>S</key>.</p></item>
</steps>
+ <p>Only the clips under the playhead can be split, depending on the current selection:</p>
+ <list>
+ <item><p>If clips are selected, only the selected clips under the playhead are split.</p></item>
+ <item><p>If the selection is empty, all the clips under the playhead are split.</p></item>

<note style="tip">
<title>Cutting out the middle</title>
- <p>When you want to cut out a middle section of a clip, split the clip twice on the positions where
the part you want to remove begins and ends. Select the middle part and hit <key>delete</key>. Now, eliminate
the empty space between the remaining two parts by moving one of them towards the other until they align.</p>
