Clip: Add new clip

Adds a clip where the time-head is placed on the timeline.

With Auto focus editor you can choose which text edit field you prefer to edit when you have added a new clip. You might want want to add subtitle text right away, or perhaps add a comment.

Clip: Merge clip with next

Merge the selected clip with the next clip on timeline.

Merge text: Activate this setting if you want the text content to be merged as well. If this option is not selected, the selected clip's text content will be the text that remains, and the other clip's text will be deleted.
