Hi,

4.14.2 on Mint 17.3

I have searched but can find find instructions I understand or that work for me.

I want to copy a portion of a video clip and save it as a separate clip for later use and editing. In the clip monitor I set a starting and ending points for a zone. But after that I cannot figure out what to do. I tried dragging things, searched the menus, right-clicking. ...Copy zone? I need clear cookbook instructions please.

Thanks.

In the clip monitor, set the zone in and out points. Near the clip monitor transport controls is a drop-down menu. Click it, and in there will be an option reading, "Extract Zone." This will copy out the marked zone to a new clip file.

However, this extraction doesn't appear to be very sophisticated, and will likely yield a clip that is unusable (misaligned audio/video tracks).

Another option would be to drag the zone to an empty timeline, then render that timeline to a new file.

I've tried dragging everything I see and I can think off, but it will not drag.

I set the start/end of the zone, in the clip monitor there's a blue band in the time indicator of the monitor signifying the zone. I've tried dragging it - it does not drag. Nothing in the monitor area will drag

I have a screen shot here, see the blue area/band - that's the zone.

How do I drag it? I must be missing something here...

Thanks
