Both are on for new takes and can be turned off under **Style** (**Ring on clicks**, **Hide the cursor when it rests**).", "Cut by hand: **Split** (or S) splits the video at the playhead, and clicking a clip in the strip under the zooms lets you remove it or put it back. **[** leaves out everything before the playhead and **]** everything after, to trim the start and end in one key. Undo brings everything back.", "Your own picture as the background: the **+** swatch under **Style** takes a PNG or JPEG.
