Cutting is not possible in the cross fade area of two objects on one track.Objects can also be cut, which may be very important for sound and videomontage. This is how it is done:
Move the locator to the position where you would like to do the cut. If you want to cut several parallel objects at the same time you need to highlight them first.... See also Highlingting objects.
Cutting is not possible in the cross fade area of two objects on one track.
Right-click the corresponding position of the object and select one of the following menus:
Cut left part ...cuts off part of the object to the left of the locator
Cut right part ...cuts off part of the object to the right of the locator
Divide...divides the objects into two objects
The toolbar contains also cutting tools which can be used without opening the context menus. See Toolbar.
You can also directly right-click the location where you would like to do the cut. Fine-adjust the location of the cut by dragging the left or right edge.
A high number of cuts are best done in Cut Mode. See Cutting objects in Cut Mode.
Make sure you try out the magnetic Locator available in function 
Snap to objects. In many cases, this the easier and simpler way. See Snapping to objects.
For an accurate adjustment of cuts the individual video pictures can be displayed at full resolution in the Preview Window allowing for frame-accurate cutting. See Frame-accurate cutting of videos.
A number of short video snippets following closely one after the other may cause problems for real time playback based on original data. In this case the cuts are rendered incorrectly. The extent of this effect and the object length to cause this effect depends on the codec used for editing the videos. DV videos show a more favorable behavior, while MPEG-2 and WMV videos behave less favorably due to the higher key frame intervals. In case of problems you could create a mixdown of this particular scene and use it instead of the original videos.
