# Clip-Based Editing

## Clip-Based Editing

Highlight Studio uses a clip-based, non-linear editing system. Your recording is divided into clips that you can split, rearrange, and delete to build your final video.

### Splitting Clips

To split a clip at the current playhead position:

- Press **Cmd+B** or **S** on your keyboard.
- The clip will be divided into two separate clips at the playhead.
- You can then delete, move, or modify each clip independently.

### Deleting Clips

- **Delete** \- Removes the selected clip, leaving a gap in the timeline.
- **Shift+Delete** \- Performs a ripple delete, removing the clip and closing the gap so subsequent clips shift earlier.

### Clip Properties

Each clip has individual properties you can adjust in the inspector:

- **Speed** \- Change the playback speed of a clip for slow-motion or time-lapse effects.
- **Enabled/Disabled** \- Toggle a clip on or off without deleting it.
- **Freeze Frame** \- Pause the video on a specific frame while audio continues playing. Useful for emphasizing a moment.
