Selecting Segments for Slip or Slide Trimming
To select segments for slip or slide trimming by dragging a lasso:
1. In Source/Record mode, select a segment for slipping or sliding.
2. Drag a lasso from right to left around a segment (two or more transitions).
Your Avid editing application enters slip trim by default.
3. To switch to slide trim, press and hold the Shift+Alt keys (Windows) or Option key
(Macintosh) while dragging the lasso from right to left.
To select segments on a lower track:
1. Press and hold the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) while dragging a lasso
around the segment.
2. To switch to slide trim, press the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh) and
double-click the segment.
You can also select two or more contiguous segments within a track for slipping or sliding
by dragging the lasso around four or more transitions.

Be sure to drag the lasso from right to left. If you drag from left to right, you select the
segment, not the transition.
