Editing sequences and clips
Last updated 1/16/2012
Trim with Trim-in and Trim-out tools
You can change a clip’s In point or Out point by dragging its edge in a Timeline panel. As you drag, the current In or
Out point appears in the Program Monitor. A tool tip displays the number of frames that you are trimming: a negative
value if you are dragging the edge toward the beginning of the sequence and a positive number if you are dragging
toward the end of the sequence. You cannot trim past the original In and Out points of the source footage.
Click the selection tool
and do one of the following:
To edit the In point, drag the left edge of the clip once the Trim-in icon
appears.
To edit the Out point, drag the right edge of the clip once the Trim-out icon
appears.
Note:
To trim only one track of a linked clip, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you click with a Trim icon. You
do not need to hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key once you initiate the trim. To ripple trim a clip,
press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while dragging.
Trimming a clip
Trimming in this way affects only a single clip edge and doesn’t affect adjacent clips. To trim multiple edges at once or
to shift adjacent clips, see “
Making rolling and ripple edits
” on page
187 and “
Make slip and slide edits
” on page
191.
Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drag using the Selection tool to switch to the Ripple Edit tool.

in this video
