Using In and Out Points

You can create in and out points on your timeline, and use them in the following ways:

•

To delete the selected (marked) section of the timeline and close the gap, select Edit > Ripple Delete (Command-Backspace). All clips between the in and out points on all tracks are trimmed, and each clip completely encompassing the in and out points is split into two clips. All clips on the right are shifted left. After performing in and out point operations, in and out points are automatically removed.

•

To delete the selected (marked) section of the timeline, without closing the gap, select Edit > Delete. All clips between the in and out points on all tracks are trimmed, and each clip completely encompassing the in and out points is split into two clips, leaving a gap on the timeline. After performing in and out point operations, the in and out points are automatically removed.

•

To publish the range bounded by the points (instead of exporting the entire project), select File > Publish Selected Range to < YouTube | Vimeo | Google Drive | Dropbox | Facebook | Flash>. ScreenFlow displays the selected Publish dialog. Proceed as appropriate for the publisher. See Publishing Your ScreenFlow Project for details.

•	To export the range bounded by the points (instead of exporting the entire project), select File > Export Selected Range. (See Exporting Your Video).

The time between mark in and out points is highlighted in purple (Figure 29).

Figure 29. Marking In and Out Points on Timeline

To set in and out points, position the scrubber and select Mark > Mark In Point (or press I). ScreenFlow highlights the timeline in blue to the end of the timeline. Then move the scrubber to the out point and select Mark > Mark Out Point (O) to set the out point.

You can reverse this process as well: Position the scrubber and set the out point. ScreenFlow highlights the timeline in blue to the beginning of the timeline. Then move the scrubber and set the in point.

To set in and out points relative to the position of the scrubber, shift-click on the timeline scale. If you shift-click to the left of the scrubber, you create the in point, using the scrubber location as the out point; if you shift-click to the right of the scrubber, you create the out point using the scrubber as the in point.

When you create an in point without an out point, ScreenFlow automatically sets the out point to the end of the last clip. When you create an out point without an in point, ScreenFlow sets the in point to the beginning of the timeline.
