Fine-Tuning the Sequence
Performing a Single-Roller Trim
Performing an A-side or B-side single-roller trim is very similar to performing
a dual-roller trim, but you first have to choose which side you want to trim.
To perform a single-roller trim:
1. Click the picture of the outgoing (A-side) or incoming (B-side) frame.
The dual pink Trim mode rollers in the Timeline turn into a single yellow
roller that moves to the side of the clip to be trimmed.
The corresponding trim box (in the Trim window) is highlighted, and the
other one is not highlighted.
Additionally, the pointer becomes a yellow single-roller icon when you
hover it over the transition point.
2. To analy ze t he tr ansition f or t rimming, y ou m ay wa nt to loop the play-
back repeatedly through the transition. To do this, click the Play Loop
button, or press the 5 key or space bar.
3. Trim the transition earlier or later by clicking the Trim buttons.
4. To analy ze t he re sult of y our trim, you can loop the playb ack acro ss t he
transition again by repeating step 2.
Trimming Using the Trim Smart Tools
In addition to entering Trim mode to perform trims, you can also trim using
the Ripple Trim and Overwrite Trim buttons in the Smart Tool.
Trimming with the Smart Tool trim buttons is a very tactile way to interact
with your footage; you can select trims in the Timeline without first entering
Trim mode.
Ripple Trim
Ripple Trim performs the same type of trim that has been discussed
already in this chapter. The term ripple simply means that both additive
trims (trims in which you add frames to the A- or B-side of a clip) and
reductive trims (trims in which you remove frames from the A- or B-side of
a clip) shuffle all adjacent frames forward or backward as the trim is per-
formed. (You can also perform dual-roller trims while using the Smart Tool
trim buttons.)
