Move edit points to the playhead or skimmer position
You can adjust selected edit points in the timeline, either as a ripple edit or as a roll edit,
using keyboard shortcuts.
1. In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select the edit point you want to adjust.
Note: For a roll edit, select both sides of the edit point with the Trim tool.
2. Position the playhead or the skimmer at the point in the timeline to which you want to
move the edit point.
3. Choose Trim > Extend Edit (or press Shift-X).
The edit point is extended (or shortened) to the playhead or skimmer position.
In the example above, if you selected the end point of the clip, subsequent clips in the
timeline are rippled accordingly. If you selected both sides of the edit point with the
Trim tool, the right clip is shortened (with a roll edit) and no clips ripple.
