To create an overlap edit:
1. Perform a straight-cut edit between two clips, including audio and video tracks:
t If the timing of the video edit is crucial, mark edit points according to video.
If the timing of the audio transition is crucial, mark edit points according to audio.
2. Perform a dual-roller trim on either the video track or the audio track, but not on both:
t If the video transition occurs at the correct place but you want the audio from one
clip to linger into the other (or the reverse), trim the audio tracks accordingly.
If the audio transition occurs at the correct place but you want the video to transition
either before or after the audio cut, trim the video track accordingly.
3. (Option) You can also create an overlap edit for an audio track by using the Audio Mark
buttons.
See “Marking Audio Clips” in the Help.
Extending an Edit
Use an extend edit to perform dual-sided (A-side and B-side) trims on selected tracks. An
extend edit allows you to quickly create a split edit without entering Trim mode. It also
allows you to establish the exact frame that you want to trim to by using the position
indicator. (When you enter Trim mode, the position indicator moves to the nearest transition
by default.)
You can extend edits backward or forward in the Timeline. In either case, like a dual-roller
trim, the extend edit function always maintains sync relationships.
To perform an extend edit:
1. Select the tracks you want to extend.
To extend multiple tracks, all the tracks must have the same edit point in the Timeline.
Otherwise, you must extend the tracks separately.
2. Find the point in the sequence to which you want to trim. If the trim point is before the
edit, mark an IN point. If the trim point is after the edit, mark an OUT point.
