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

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    and   buttons, or use the V and B keys.

To loop playback between the endpoints you've set, click the    button.

To add this segment of the recording to a Playlist without creating a clip, click the    button.

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.

Click on either of the endpoints to bring up the fine clip adjustment controls:

 

From left to right:

• Move the selected endpoint back one second
• Move the endpoint back one frame
• Click to move the endpoint X seconds in either direction
• Move the endpoint forward one frame
• Move the endpoint forward one second
• Dismiss

You can also zoom in on the timeline using the    button. See Using the zoomable trackbar for more information. 

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

This option allows you to take various actions on the clip you are creating immediately. 

• Clip Only- i.e., take no additional action.
• Transform
• Share via SnapStream
• Add to Playlist
• Create Animated GIF
• Trim- instead of creating a clip, edit the original recording so that it starts and ends at the endpoints you've specified. Only available if the Enable Trimming option is On in Miscellaneous Settings.
• Export  

If you select Just Clip

1. Enter a Clip Title and any Tags you wish to add.
2. Select a Folder for the clip. 
3. Click Clip to finish.

 The folder that you selected the last time you created a clip will be your default folder. (For information on recording folders, see Folder Manager)

After you click Clip, your system will create the clip and save it to the folder you've selected. A popup will appear showing the progress of the clip:

If you selected any processing options, or your system is configured to run a Workflow that is triggered by clips, you may also see a pop-up for the resulting task, as shown here:

For more on the Clip progress pop-up, see Task Pop-ups. You can also check the status of the clipping operation on the Tasks page.
