Adding or Editing Exclusion Zones within the Video Clip
The Exclusion Zone icon from the Editing toolbar enables you designate one or more segments to be excluded from the video clip. For example, if you have a 1 min and 30-second clip, and there is a 25-second segment near the beginning of the clip, and another 30-second segment in the middle of the clip, you can mark those “zones”. Then, when the clip is exported or shared to social media, the rendered video clip will exclude those segments. So instead of a 1:30 length clip, you now have a 35-seconds only clip of the specific content you wanted to post.
To edit exclusion zones:
1. Click the Edit Exclusion Zones icon in the Editing toolbar.
The Edit Exclusions User interface opens.
2. Edit the exclusion zone as you want by dragging the blue box in the timeline to contain the part of the video that you want excluded.
3. (Option) To add an exclusion zone, click the + button.
A new exclusion zone will be created that starts immediately after the previous one. You can edit this exclusion zone to begin and when whenever you wish by clicking and dragging the blue box in the timeline to the desired location.
4. Click Save to save your changes.
