To start creating a clip in the web player, hit Z or click the button.

Note: Clipping icons do not appear when playing back in fullscreen mode. Keyboard shortcuts for clipping are still functional.

A marker will appear in the timeline at the current time, as shown above. This marks the beginning of the clip.

Now, hit X or click the  button to set the end of the clip.

To jump to the start or end point you've set, click on the endpoint marker, or use the V and B keys.

To change the start or end point of a clip, you can simply set new ones, or  drag the endpoints to a new location on the timeline using the mouse.

When you're satisfied with the endpoints you've selected, hit C or click the button.

A new dialog box will appear with options for the clip.

You'll be prompted to enter a name for the clip, and to select a destination folder.

 The folder that you selected the last time you created a clip will be your default folder. You can also enter any tags that you would like to be added to the clip. (For information on recording folders, see Folder Manager)
