To perform and overwrite trim:
1. Do one of the following:
t Select the Overwrite 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 Overwrite Trim tool and the Ripple Trim tool on the Timeline
palette, position the mouse pointer over the upper 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 red single-roller trim icon, and the transition displays red trim
rollers.
2. Click and drag in the direction you want to trim.
The new incoming frame displays in the Record monitor as you trim, and one of the
following occurs:
- If you trim from an A-side trim handle toward the outgoing segment or from a B-side
trim handle to the incoming segment, black filler is added.
- If you trim from an A-side trim handle toward the incoming segment or from a B-side
trim handle to the outgoing segment, frames are added to the segment with the trim
handle and removed from the other segment.
After you add black filler to a video track, you can replace the filler with footage by
performing a replace edit. For more information, see “Performing a Replace Edit” on
page 550.
Ripple Trimming
If you make a single-roller trim on either the outgoing or the incoming frames of your transition
on an unlocked track, you can move the rest of the your sequence in the direction of the trimmed
segment while maintaining the duration of all other clips. Ripple trims “ripple” the effects of
your trim along the sequence. However, ripple trims can change the duration of your sequence if
you select all tracks, and it can break synchronization with any unselected track. For more
information about preserving sync, see “Maintaining Sync While Trimming” on page 704.
If you enable link selection, clicking a transition also selects transitions on linked segments (see
“Selecting Linked Clips” on page 654).
