Place a video clip as a transformable layer, trim its source range, offset it on the timeline, and composite it with the same layer controls as effects.

In: Media

Location

Primitive / Media / Video

Controls

Choose a clip, trim it, set its timeline offset, and choose looping or source position. Use the canvas gizmo for placement.

Actions

Choose Video mode for clip timing. Arrow keys nudge the selected layer when the canvas has focus.
