t Use the J-K-L keys to trim forward or backward in the sequence.
t Use the numeric keypad at the right side of the keyboard, as follows:
- To move the transition a specific number of frames, type a plus sign (+) or minus sign
(–) and the number of frames (from 1 to 99), and then press Enter.
If the number of frames exceeds 99, type an
f after the number to indicate frame count.
For example, to enter 200 frames, type
200f and press Enter.
- To move the transition to an exact point in the timecode, type a timecode number larger
than 99, including frames. For example, type
102 to enter 1 second and 2 frames (1:02).
For greater control while performing a trim, do one of the following:
t Press Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or press the Command+Option key (Macintosh) as you drag one
frame at a time.
t Press the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Macintosh) to snap to other transition
points.
As you trim, all selected transitions in the Timeline move in unison. The Trim counter
displays the frame count backward or forward for one or both trim sides, and the monitors
display the new incoming or outgoing frames.
Reviewing Trim Edits
You can review an edit by using the Play Loop button or the Edit Review button.
The Edit Review button (in the Play tab of the Command Palette) lets you review an edit or other
change that you made to a transition. You can set how far the position indicator moves backward
by using the Preroll option in the Play Loop tab of the Trim Settings dialog box. For more
information, see “Trim Settings Overview” on page 693.

Using the Edit Review command causes your Avid editing application to deselect trim rollers on
all transitions.
To review the most recent trim edit or to play the currently selected transition:
1. (Option) To see the Timeline in a closer view while you review the trim, click the Focus
button. (To return to your original view of the Timeline, click the Focus button again.)
2. Click the Play Loop button.
The system enters a playback loop. This loop begins at a preroll point before the transition
and ends at a postroll point.
