If you choose the former, all your previous work in ‘Advanced’ will be lost, but if you choose the later, all the work you’ve done since switching back to ‘Express’ will be lost. More frustrating still, if you then try to go back to ‘Advanced Editing’ you’ll be asked if you’d like to start a new advanced project or open the existing one. You can switch between the two modes but if you’ve made alterations to your project while in ‘Advanced Editing’, those changes won’t be reflected once you go back to ‘Express Editing’.

Trimming clips is as simple as dragging their edges inwards. You can work on multiple tracks, so clips can overlay one another.
Each clip is represented by a rectangle whose length depends on the clip’s duration.
