Wishing to save a few minutes of a recording I pressed Play for the progress bar. Pressing the White button I got an increasing space on the prog. bar ('red marker will start flashing between red and blue' -where? I saw nothing but then I'm colour blind but not that much).
So far so good, perhaps. To trim the wanted section I used the left and right arrows OK. Then pressing the Blue button did nothing.
Starting again by stopping the play back and restarting the playback and progress bar this time pressing the White button did nothing and continues to do nothing after many re-trys.
Can anyone please advise? Thanks. |

Try CutAds. Put bookmarks at the start and end of the section you want (and make sure there are no other bookmarks, and that they're at least 2 minutes apart), play the recording, and run CutAds.

Thanks for that but to be sure:-
I wish to save about 3 minutes from an hour long programme. Using CutAds placing bookmarks at the beginning and end of that section will cut out that section. Where will I find that to place it in an archive folder to be later viewed?
I don't need accurate editing for this procedure. |

No. The assumption is that you'll want to top and tail the recording, and also cut out Ads in the middle. If there are only 2 bookmarks, it will just top and tail (i.e. remove the beginning and end, and keep the middle).
And anyway, you can always use JoinAds if necessary to recover back to the original. The bits you cut out (and the data file that CutAds creates to be able to stick it all back together again) will still exist on the Toppy.

I'm not sure what you mean by "an increasing space" ... the marker that you are looking for is that pixel thin line (vertically) within the yellow progress bar. Instead of being a solid (indescribable) dark colour, it flashes when you engaged in "editing" mode, and when you start moving around with the < > buttons, you will start selecting a big blue area of video.
Quote: pressing the Blue button did nothing.
I find the editing interface to be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes you get the progress bar up, hit white, move - it doesn't lassoo a piece of video even though it's flashing. Try again, this time it lassoos it, go to hit blue, progress bar vanishes before you press it.
It's as if there's an errant timeout that fires and says "Too slow!" and yanks it away. Swearing at it usually fixes this, although I can't explain why.
It's not a TAP interfering, in my case, as I don't have any quickjump/other TAPS loaded that might clobber normal operation. |

In combination with the Bm, Cf and Ct patches, editing is SO much easier (AND reversible using JoinAds/JoinFile if you get it wrong).
