• If the In point of the moved shot overlaps the second half of another shot, the shot
you’re moving will be insert edited, and all other shots in the Timeline will be rippled
to the right to make room.
• If you’re moving a shot into an area of the Timeline where it doesn’t overlap with any
other shot, it’s simply moved to that area of the Timeline without rippling any other
shots.
To delete a shot in the Timeline
1 Select one or more shots in the Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
• Press Delete.
• Press Forward Delete.
The result is a lift edit, which leaves a gap in the Timeline where that shot used to be. No
other shots move as a result of deleting a shot.
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 the cut point, 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 perform a roll edit
1 Do one of the following to choose the Roll edit tool:
• Choose Timeline > Roll Tool.
• Press Control-R.
