Blade (Mes)

Snijdt een strip in twee. Het verkort de strip eerst zodat alleen de inhoud tot het snijpunt wordt weergegeven, en voegt vervolgens een tweede strip toe die de inhoud na het snijpunt weergeeft.

The Blade tool supports both point-based cuts and a box gesture for quickly removing unwanted sections of strips.

Splitting can be done in the following ways:

  • Selecteer de tool in de werkbalk en klik op een strip op het tijdpunt waar deze moet worden gesplitst.

  • Click and drag to draw a box. All strip content inside the box is cut out and removed.

When using the box gesture, all strip content inside the box area is deleted. With Remove Gaps enabled, strips that follow the removed section are moved backward in time to close the gap (ripple behavior).

When rippling, the behavior is applied to all channels that intersect the box area. Channels that are not covered by the box remain unchanged, allowing other strips to keep their relative timing if desired.

If the box starts at the beginning or end of a strip, the amount of ripple is determined by the distance from the strip handle to the time-side of the box. When the box spans gaps between strips, those gaps can also be removed when rippling is enabled.

Tool Settings (Tool Instellingen)

Type (Type)

Split type for point-based cuts.

Soft:

After splitting, it is still possible to restore the cut content in the new strips by dragging their handles.

Hard:

After splitting, it is not possible to restore the cut content by dragging handles. However, the content can still be restored by adjusting the Hold Offset in the Sidebar.

Remove Gaps

In box blade mode, close gaps between cut strips, rippling later strips backward in time. Hold Shift before dragging to temporarily disable this option and keep the gap.

Ignore Selection

In box blade mode, cut all strips inside the box, even if they are not selected.

Ignore Connections

Do not propagate the cut to connected strips, such as effect strips.

Slip

Moves only the content of the strip. By default, the tool only allows the content to be moved within strip handles. If this limit applies, the strip outline is drawn in red color. By pressing C the limiting is toggled on or off.
