17 Working with Trim Edits
Basic editing of a sequence initially produces a rough cut, which is loosely defined as a series of
straight-cut edits with many rough edges and few effects. After creating a rough cut, you can use
trim edits to fine-tune the transitions between each clip or between whole segments. You can also
trim edits as you build a sequence rather than create a rough cut first. The following sections
describe trim editing procedures:
