I don't recall anything appearing after pressing pause. However, a rectangular mouse pointer will appear when you hover the mouse pointer at the edge of an event. Simply click and drag inwards to trim.

Yes that's what I used to do but instead of getting the rectangular icon which i could drag I just get a hand and a comment '100% opaque'. Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't have VMS right in front of me so I'm just guessing here, but is it possible that you've somehow moved the opacity down on the event, so that the opacity line is appearing somewhere around the vertical midpoint of, and so when you hover over the edge of the event VMS is responding to the opacity line?

Hover the mouse much lower on the edge of the event. If you hover on the top edge you get the opacity tool. If you hover in the upper corner you get the fade tool. If you hover lower you'll get the trimming tool.

Thanks - I now have blank space at the beginning how do I get rid of this so the video runs from the start?

Auto Ripple is your friend. With this turned on, trimming automatically moves the event back so that the new start happens where the original start did.

Or, if there's nothing else after that event on the timeline, drag it back over to the left.

Auto Ripple certainly is my friend -thanks.
