Introduction
Cutting is the core of editing. In this episode, we use the Razor Tool and Add Edit to cut interview clips precisely at the pauses in speech. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In this episode, we learn to cut clips in the timeline using two methods. The Razor Tool cuts at the cursor position, and Add Edit with Ctrl+K cuts at the playhead position. The training material is an interview clip of a teacher.
Step 1: Razor Tool
The teacher's interview clip is on track V1 and A1. Select the Razor Tool in the Tools panel or press C. The cursor changes to a scissor, and the white line shows the point to be cut. Click at the pause around the 12th second. The clip splits into two parts. Since the video and audio are linked, one click cuts both simultaneously.
Step 2: Video and audio are also cut
The left and right portions are now separate clips that can be moved, trimmed, or deleted individually. Return to the Selection Tool by pressing V.
Step 3: Add Edit at the playhead
A more precise method. Place the playhead exactly at the desired point while listening to the audio, for example, at the 24th second, then press Ctrl+K. The clip on the target track is cut precisely at the playhead without needing to move the cursor. Add music on track A2.
Step 4: Cutting all tracks
If you want to cut all tracks at once, hold Shift while clicking with the Razor Tool, or press Ctrl+Shift+K at the playhead. The video, teacher's audio, and music are cut at the same point.
Step 5: Deleting the wrong part
The section between the two cuts contains the teacher repeating the sentence. Click the portion with the Selection Tool and then press Delete. That section disappears, leaving an empty gap that we will close in the next episode.
Step 6: Play the result
Play from the beginning. Notice the gap, the screen turns black and silent. That's the sign that the gap needs to be closed, and the Repel Delete technique will take care of it.
Done!
Done We've cut using the Razor Tool, understanding that the cut video and audio are synchronized, using Add Edit with Ctrl+K, cutting all tracks with Shift or Ctrl+Shift+K, and removing the incorrect pieces. In the next episode, we'll close the gap with Repel Delete. Need product advertisement videos, business profile videos, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
