What does the 'Extract' button do in the Program Monitor?

The 'Extract' button in the Program Monitor is designed to remove a portion of the timeline between the specified In and Out points, doing so without leaving an empty space or gap where the clip used to be. This function is particularly useful for streamlining your timeline by allowing you to remove unwanted sections of video while maintaining the continuity of the remaining clips.

When the 'Extract' function is employed, the clips that come after the extracted section automatically shift to fill the gap, making the editing process more efficient and cohesive. This feature is especially handy in scenarios where precise editing is required, ensuring a seamless flow in your project without the need for additional adjustments after the removal.
