3. (Option) You can also create an overlap edit for an audio track by using the Audio Mark
buttons (see “Marking Audio Clips” on page 522).
Extending an Edit
Use an extend edit to perform dual-sided (A-side and B-side) trims on selected tracks. An extend
edit lets you quickly create a split edit without selecting trim sides at a transition. It also lets you
establish the exact frame that you want to trim to by using the position indicator.
You can extend edits backward or forward in the Timeline. In either case, like a dual-roller trim,
extend edits always maintain sync relationships.
To perform an extend edit:
1. Select the tracks you want to extend.
To extend multiple tracks, all the tracks must have the same edit point in the Timeline.
Otherwise, you must extend the tracks separately.
2. Find the point in the sequence to which you want to trim. If the trim point is before the edit,
mark an In point. If the trim point is after the edit, mark an Out point.
3. (Option) If you are extending the edit to an Out point, remove any In points on the track.
Otherwise, the extend edit goes in the wrong direction.
Example of an extend edit. The video track is selected for extending backward (left), and the Mark In point
(right) indicates where you want the edit to extend to.
4. Click the Extend button.
The Extend button appears in the Trim tab of the Command palette. You can map the Extend
button to a custom location. For information on the Command palette and button mapping,
see “Understanding Button Mapping” on page 110.
The adjustment appears in the Timeline.
After the Extend edit. The edit point on the video track moves backward to the location of the Mark In point.
