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 “
Perform rolling and ripple edits
” on page 111 and “
Perform slip and slide edits
” on
page 113.
Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drag using the Selection tool to switch to the Ripple Edit tool.
