Undo Blade Cut?

PostThu May 30, 2019 5:39 pm

Is there a way to undo a blade cut? I'm already way beyond the CTL-Z undo, and I haven't made any revisions to the cut clip.

Position your playhead to the right of the blade cut and press option-\ (alt-\ on Windows).

Call me lazy (my wife does) but I haven't even looked it up...

How do you "join" two clips so that they are treated as a single clip on the edit-line from that point forwards. ie: they'll move in unison, be deleted in unison, graded in unison etc?

For the benefit of others: If the blade cut was on a continuous clip (split into (a) part(s) you can select the cut and press the Delete key to remove the cut. Apparently this is know as a "Through Edit". Selecting the "Through Edit" and pressing the Delete key removes the cut and rejoins the continuous clips. See page 763 of the manual (Edit | Chapter 38 Modifying Clips in the Timeline)

Yup. Through edits are indicated by dashes down the edit - but they’re barely visible. Been asking for years to make them clearer.

You can also delete multiple through-edits (splits) in a clip by selecting all of the subclips that have spilts then “option \”.
This method can remove splits in multiple unrelated clips too.

It’s kinda the reverse of using command \ to create a split.

Split button on the Speed Editor will do the same thing.

And the shortcut for Split Edits -- ⌘\ -- will also do the same thing. You can undo that by hitting ⌥\ (option backslash). You can also select just the cut itself (the edges between the clips) and deleting.
