When you release the mouse button, Adobe Premiere Pro updates the In and Out points
for the adjacent clips, displaying the result in the Program view and maintaining the clip

Using the Trim window
Whereas you can accomplish most editing tasks in the Monitor and Timeline windows,
fine-tuning the cut point between clips is most effective in the Trim window. The Trim
window is similar to the Monitor window but is actually a separate window with
specialized controls. When you use the Trim window, both monitors represent clips in the
program—the left monitor is the clip to the left of the cut (or edit point), and the right
monitor is the clip to the right of the cut. You can perform ripple or rolling edits at any edit
point in the sequence, for any target track. The sequence updates as you perform
the edit.
Note: Opening the Trim window doesn’t replace or close the Monitor window. However,
the Trim window may open directly over the Monitor window, hiding it. You can reveal the
Monitor window by closing the Trim window or dragging it to a new location.
To open the Trim window:
Click the Trim button at the bottom of Program view.
To find the edit you want to trim:
1
Select the target tracks by clicking near the tracks’ names in the track header area in the
Timeline window.
2
In the Trim window, click the Previous Edit or Next Edit button. The frames on either
side of the new edit point position appear in the Trim window.
To perform a ripple edit using the Trim window:
1
Do any of the following:
•
Position the pointer in the left or right image so that it becomes the Trim-out icon or
Trim-in icon respectively, and drag left or right to ripple-edit the corresponding clip.

Click the left clip’s timecode display (for the left clip’s Out point) or the right clip’s
timecode display (for the right clip’s In point), type a valid timecode number to trim the
corresponding clip to that frame, and press Enter.
•
Click the Out Shift display (for the left clip’s Out point) or the In Shift display (for the
right clip’s In point), type a negative number (to trim left) or a positive number (to trim
right), and press Enter.
