the edit point are selected.
3. Do one of the following:
• Drag the edit point left or right.
• Press the Plus Sign (+) key or the Minus Sign (–) key followed by the timecode
duration to add or subtract from the current edit, then press Return.
The timecode display below the viewer shows the duration of the trim.
For more information about entering timecode values, see Navigate using timecode
in Final Cut Pro.
• Position the playhead or the skimmer at a point in the timeline to which you want to
move the edit point, then choose Trim > Extend Edit (or press Shift-X).
The edit point is rolled to the new location. The combined duration of the two clips
stays the same.
If you can’t roll the edit point any farther and one side of the edit point appears red,
you’ve reached the end of the media for one of the two clips.
