Chapter 12 Working in Trim Mode

Selecting Additional Transitions

In Trim mode, you can select additional transitions for trimming in different

contexts.

To quickly select additional transitions on contiguous tracks for trimming

on the same side:

t Click the corresponding record-side track selectors in the Track Selector

panel.

For example, if you select a single transition in track V1 for single-roller

A-side trimming and want to add tracks A1 and A2 at the same transition,

click the corresponding track selectors.

Likewise, you can deselect tracks in the Track Selector panel to remove

transitions on those tracks from the trim procedure.

To select additional transitions for single-roller trimming in varying

locations on different tracks:

t Shift+click the transitions in the Timeline.

This method is useful when you are working with staggered transitions

across multiple tracks; it also allows you to select both A-side and B-side

transitions for simultaneous trimming in opposite directions

(asymmetrical trim). This is not possible with dual-roller trims.

As you move the pointer back and forth across a transition, notice that the

roller icon changes from an A-side roller (facing left) to a B-side roller

(facing right) to indicate the type of selection.

You do not see the dual-roller icon within the Timeline. To select both

sides, you must first select one side, and then Shift+click to select the

other side.
