Overwrite Trimming
741
You can select and trim two heads or tails simultaneously, in any combination, for each track
in the sequence. All selected transitions are trimmed the same number of frames. This lets
you save time and, in some cases, maintain sync by performing a single-trim procedure
across multiple tracks and transitions.
Tail frames on two clips selected for simultaneous trimming across an overlap edit
To select transitions on clips linked by common source and timecode:
1. Click the Link Selection button.
2. Click a selection with linked clips.
The application selects all transitions on linked segments.
For more information on link selection, see “Linked Clips” on page 695.
Soloing Audio while Trimming
Soloing audio lets you listen to a single audio track while trimming multiple tracks.
To solo an audio track while trimming, do the following:
t Click the Solo button in the Track Control panel for the track you want to solo.
The Solo button turns green, and Mute buttons on all other audio tracks turn orange.
Overwrite Trimming
If you want to trim one side of a transition but still maintain synchronization between video and
audio, you can create an overwrite trim on either the A-side (outgoing frames) or the B-side
(incoming frames) of a transition while maintaining the overall duration of the track and the sync
relationships. This procedure either adds a black segment or overwrites frames to fill the duration
of trimmed frames. For more information on preserving sync by adding black filler, see
“Maintaining Sync While Trimming” on page 751.
You can lasso transitions in the Timeline to select more than one transition for trimming. This
method is useful when you need to select multiple transitions staggered across parallel tracks
(overlap cuts) for simultaneous trimming.
