Delete media on the timeline
You can delete an entire clip or a portion of a clip on the timeline. Deleting clips on the timeline does not change the clip from the Media Bin. The Media Bin preserves the original source file.
Delete a clip or effect
Select the clip(s) or effect(s) to delete:
Single clip or effect: Click a clip or effect.
Multiple clips or effects: Hold the Shift or Command key and click the clips or effects.
Portion of a clip: Hold the Shift key and drag an area on the timeline.
Press the Delete key or select Edit > Delete.
Deleting maintains the spacing between media on the timeline. To automatically remove the extra space between media when deleting, see Ripple delete.
