Remove part of a layer’s duration

  1. In the Timeline panel, set the work area to include only the portion of the layers’ duration to remove: Move the current-time indicator to the time that the work area is to begin, and press B. Move the current-time indicator to the time at which the work area is to end, and press N.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select the layers from which to remove a section.

    • Select the Lock switch  for layers that you do not want affected by the extraction. Press F2 to deselect all layers.

    Note: If no layers are selected, the following step removes the section from all unlocked layers.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To remove the section and leave a gap of the same duration as the removed section, choose Edit > Lift Work Area.

    • To remove the section, choose Edit > Extract Work Area. The gap is closed by ripple deletion.
