an "IN-POINT" at the beginning of the part of the clip
you wish to use, and an "OUT-POINT"

Mark an "IN-POINT"
by pressing the "i" key on the keyboard. ("i" = "IN").

clip that will be used. The shaded (gray) portions are
the parts that will not be used.
If you need
to change an In-point or Out-point, you can click and
drag the markers, or press the "i" or "o" key at a different
point in the clip.
