| | Note: If dragging the start arrow you will be unable to move past: the right/left most sections of the edit bar, the end of a earlier clip, or the beginning of a later clip. In fact if you move a start arrow to the right all the way to the point that it touches the beginning of another clip the original clip will be positioned a set distance away from the 2nd start. Also while dragging if you move past the point of your end arrow you will push said arrow back until you let go. This will cause a new end arrow position to be submitted. |
| | Note: If dragging the end arrow you will be unable to move past: the right/left most sections of the edit bar, the corresponding begin arrow or a later clips beginning arrow. |

Initial Clip |
When you first open up the clipper you are given an initial clip. You do not have to use this clip at all. You may edit it, remove it or use it how ever you see fit. Since most cases will involve removing the beginning or/and end the initial clip will be quite helpful in getting in and out of the clipper quickly. |
