To perform a ripple trim:
1. Do one of the following:
t Select the Ripple Trim tool on the Timeline palette, and then click a transition to select it
for trimming. Shift+click to select multiple clips aligned at the same transition.
t If you selected both the Ripple Trim tool and the Overwrite Trim tool on the Timeline
palette, position the mouse pointer over the lower corner of either the outgoing or
incoming clip next to the transition you want to trim and click the transition to select it
for trimming. Shift+click to select multiple clips aligned at the same transition.
The cursor changes to a yellow single-roller trim icon, and the transition displays yellow
trim rollers.
2. Click and drag in the direction you want to trim.
The new outgoing frame displays in the Source monitor as you trim, and all segments
located on the selected tracks move with the trim.
Dual-Roller Trimming
Using a dual-roller trim allows you to move the transition point between segments without
changing the duration of the sequence. This adds frames to one side of the transition and
subtracts them from the other side.
There are several ways to select a transition for dual-roller trimming. Which method you use
depends on your editing workflow.
If you enable link selection, clicking a transition also selects transitions on linked segments (see
“Selecting Linked Clips” on page 656).
To select a transition for dual-roller trimming, do one of the following:
t Position the mouse pointer over the transition you want to trim so the pointer changes to a
dual-roller icon, and click the transition.
t Click the Trim Mode button.
