To move an object bar to a specific frame
1 In the Timeline, select the object bar (or bars) to move, then type the number of the frame
(or timecode) where you want to move the object.
A value field appears, displaying the number you typed.
Type a number and
a window appears.
2 Press Return.
The object bar’s In point moves to the specified frame number. If you selected more than
one object bar, they all move to the specified frame number.
To move an object bar a specific number of frames
Do one of the following:
µ
To move an object bar forward a specific number of frames, select the object, type a plus
sign (+) followed by the number of the frames you want to move, then press Return.
µ
To move an object bar backward a specific number of frames, select the object, type a
minus sign (–) followed by the number of the frames you want to move, then press Return.
Trimming Objects
Trim an object bar when you want to shorten or lengthen its duration in the Timeline.
You can shorten or lengthen the beginning or end of the object by dragging from the
left or right edge of the object bar (the In and Out points).
You can also trim an object bar (change its In and Out points) by using menu commands
and corresponding keyboard shortcuts. This allows you to trim multiple objects
simultaneously, as well as make trimming changes on the fly while your project is playing
back.
