3. Set trim **from**. This is the point in the clip where playback starts. If you set it partway into the clip, the video skips the part before it.

4. Check trim **to**. It shows how long the clip plays after the new start point. If the clip is too short for the sentence, it loops to fill it.

The full length of the clip shows at the top as **Duration**. Use it to pick the right start point.
