icon appears.
To perform a rearrange edit by dragging:
Click and drag a clip; then press Ctrl+Alt as you drop it to a new location.
As you press Ctrl+Alt, the Rearrange icon appears. Releasing the clip performs an extract
edit, and an insert edit that shifts clips in the destination tracks only.
Trimming with the Trim pointer
You can change a clip’s In point or Out point by simply dragging its edge in the Timeline
window. As you drag, the current In or Out point appears in the Program view of the
Monitor window. 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 “Trimming
using ripple and rolling edits” on page 151 and “Trimming using slip and slide edits” on
page 154.

Note: To trim only one track of a linked clip, press Alt as you click with a Trim icon. You do
not need to hold down the Alt key once you initiate the trim.
To change a clip’s In and Out points in the Timeline window:
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 as you click with a Trim icon. You do
not need to hold down the Alt key once you initiate the trim.
Trimming a clip
Trimming using ripple and rolling edits
When you want to adjust the cut, or edit point, between two clips, use variations of simple
trimming known as rolling edits and ripple edits. By using specialized tools, you can make
adjustments in a single action that would otherwise require multiple steps to accomplish.
When you perform ripple and rolling edits, the affected frames appear in the Program
view side by side.

A rolling edit trims an adjacent Out point and In point simultaneously and by the same
number of frames. This effectively moves the edit point between clips, preserving other
clips’ positions in time and maintaining the total duration of the sequence. To make a split
edit (also known as an
L-cut
or
J-cut
), press Alt when you begin to perform a rolling edit.
In this rolling edit, the edit point is dragged earlier in time—shortening the previous clip,
lengthening the next clip, and maintaining the program duration.
A ripple edit trims a clip and shifts subsequent clips in the track by the amount you trim.
Shortening a clip by ripple editing shifts all clips after the cut back in time; conversely,
extending a clip shifts the clips that follow the cut forward in time. When you’re making a
ripple edit, empty space on one side of the cut is treated as a clip and shifts in time just as
a clip would be. Pressing Alt when you begin to perform a ripple edit ignores the link
between video and audio.
In this ripple edit, the edit point is dragged earlier in time—shortening the preceding clip and
the total program duration.
