Insert cuts

Use the Web Editor to remove portions of your presentation. You can insert plain cuts as well as faded and dissolved cuts.

To insert a cut within a presentation:

1. In the timeline, select a portion to cut by clicking and dragging, or "scrubbing" the timeline cursor.

2. Click Cut Time and specify the type of cut:

Option	Details
Insert a cut	Press C to insert a cut. At a cut, the presentation simply skips to the end of the cut and continues the presentation.
Faded cut	Press F to insert a cut with fades. Fades gradually darken video to black and mutes the audio level.
Dissolved cut	Press D to insert a cut with dissolve. Dissolves smoothly fade in and out from one end of the cut to the other.

3. Adjust the lengths of the cut and fade (or dissolve) using the cut and fade handles, respectively.

4. Move the selection handle to move the cut. Click the selection handle to display a drop-down menu you can use to change your cut option.

5. To retain a portion of the timeline that lies within a cut segment, use the timeline cursor to select the portion you want to retain and click Uncut Time.

6. Click Undo or Redo to back out of changes as needed. Once you have completed your edits, commit changes.
