To slip a shot in Source/Record mode:
1. Select the tracks for the clips to be slipped.
2. Move the position indicator within the shot that you want to slip.
3. Slip the shot by doing one of the following:
t Click the Slip Left button to slip the shot one frame left (revealing later material from
the source clip).
t Click the Slip Right button to slip the shot one frame right (revealing earlier material
from the source clip).
t Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Macintosh) the Slip Left or Slip Right button to
trim 10 frames (8 frames for 24p) at a time.
The Slip Left and Slip Right buttons do not appear on the interface by default. You must map
them from the Trim tab in the Command palette to use this procedure.
Trimming in Two Directions
You can select non-contiguous transitions in the Timeline and perform a trim simultaneously on
all selected transitions. This allows you to trim segments without altering the duration of the
sequence in cases where you cannot perform a simple dual-roller trim. For example, if you need
to trim the outgoing frames of one segment, but you do not want to trim the incoming frames of
the segment at the same transition, you can select another edit point to use in the trim.
You can also trim in two directions by trimming frames from one segment while adding frames
to a second segment. This can help to keep video and audio aligned when you do not have the
alternative of using a dual-roller trim or sync locked tracks.
