Actually, the primary use I have made of the razor tool is to choose a point in a clip on the timeline and then to split it (i.e. slice it with the "razor"). This can be a very useful feature.

When you ask the question that way you limit the audience to those who already have used Adobe Premiere or Pinnacle Studio, which is unfortunate. What exactly do you want to do? If you want to select a region on the timeline and cut that away, you select it and cut it away, like this: 1) Make sure that Cinelerra is in "cut and paste" mode, by clicking on the button with a beam shaped icon.(*) 2) Drag the mouse over the region to be selected (now displayed with inverted colours) 3) Pressing the 'x' key for "cut". 4) The selected region vanishes, and what was to the right of it shifts to the left to fill the gap, just like the text in a text editor would. Do you want something else? If so, what? If you describe it concisely, we can explain how to do it in Cinelerra. *) Was the "mode" puzzling to you?
