Selecting Trim Sides
737
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 dual roller, to a B-side roller (facing right) to indicate the
type of trim.
Trim icons for the outgoing frames of the A-side clip (left) and the incoming frames of the B-side clip (right)
The following table describes the kinds of trim you can perform in each zone adjacent to your
transition.
Selecting Trim Sides
You can trim a transition on either the outgoing side (A-side or tail), the incoming side (B-side or
head), or both sides (dual-roller).
Once you select a trim side, the following happens:
• The selected parts of the transition are highlighted
• The corresponding rollers appear in the Timeline, colored to represent the type of trim: red
for overwrite trim, yellow for ripple trim, and pink for dual-roller trim. This provides visual
feedback so you always know what type of trim you can perform.
