Deleting Segments in the Sequence Timeline

After you add a segment to the Sequence Timeline, you can subsequently remove it using one of three delete methods. If you delete a segment from a shotlist or a news sequence, the following segment shifts to the left to fill the empty space. If you delete a segment from a Sequence, blank space or filler is left in its place.

Deleting a segment from the sequence does not remove the original source media from the server.

n If you are working with a Sequence, see Extracting and Lifting Segments for alternative methods to remove an asset from the timeline.

To delete a segment from a sequence, do one of the following:

  • Right-click the segment you want to delete and select Delete Segment from the context menu.

  • Click the segment you want to delete and click the Delete Segment button in the Sequence Timeline toolbar.

    If you are working in a Sequence, you can Ctrl+click individual segments to complete multiple simultaneous deletions. For example, you can Ctrl+click the video segment of one asset and an audio segment of a different asset to delete them both in a single command.

  • Click the segment you want to delete and press Delete or Backspace (Windows).
