Tips to Trimming Your Apple ProRes Video

Trimming an Apple ProRes video can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it becomes a straightforward task. Here are some specific tips to help you get the best results:

  • Use Proxy Files: Create lower-resolution proxy files for smoother editing and faster performance, then switch back to the original ProRes files for the final export.
  • Set In and Out Points: Mark the exact start and end points of the sections you want to keep to ensure precise trimming without losing important content.
  • Leverage Keyboard Shortcuts: Familiarize yourself with Descript's keyboard shortcuts to speed up the trimming process and make your workflow more efficient.
  • Check Audio Sync: Ensure that the audio remains in sync with the video after trimming, especially if you are making multiple cuts.
  • Preview Before Export: Always preview your trimmed video in Descript to catch any mistakes or unwanted cuts before exporting the final version.
