Chapter 7 Timeline Playback, Navigation, and Editing 135
Roll Tool
The Roll tool lets you adjust the Out point and In point of two adjacent shots
simultaneously. If you like where two shots are placed in the Timeline, but you want to
change when the cut point happens, you can use the Roll tool. No shots move in the
Timeline as a result; only the edit point between the two shots moves. This is a two-
sided edit, meaning that two shots’ edit points are affected simultaneously; the first
shot’s Out point and the next shot’s In point are both adjusted by a roll edit. However,
no other shots in the sequence are affected.
Note: When you perform a roll edit, the overall duration of the sequence stays the
same, but both shots change duration. One gets longer while the other gets shorter to
compensate. This means that you don’t have to worry about causing sync problems
between linked shot items on different tracks.
In the example above, shot B gets shorter while shot C becomes longer, but the
combined duration of the two shots stays the same.
To make a roll edit:
1 Do one of the following to choose the Roll edit tool:
 Choose Timeline > Roll Tool.
 Press Control-R.
2 Move the pointer to the edit point between two shots that you want to roll, and drag it
either left or right to make the edit.
The Timeline updates to reflect the edit you’re making.
Ripple Tool
A ripple edit adjusts a shot’s In or Out point, making that shot longer or shorter,
without leaving a gap in the Timeline. The change in duration of the shot you adjusted
ripples through the rest of the program in the Timeline, moving all shots that are to the
right of the one you adjusted either earlier or later in the Timeline.
