Fine-Tuning the Sequence
Slipping and Sliding Segments
In addition to trimming and Segment mode editing, Media Composer has
two additional functions that allow you to alter the position or contents of
various shots within your Timeline: slipping and sliding.
Slipping and sliding are forms of dual-roller trimming, where two consecutive
transitions are trimmed simultaneously. Because they are a type of dual-roller
trim, using slip and slide will not affect the duration of a sequence.
Using Slip Mode to Change Shot Contents
When you slip a shot, the contents of the shot changes, but its duration
and position do not. Essentially, the shot stays put while you access the
clip’s handles to show a different part of the shot—earlier or later material
in the master clip.
Slip Left Slip Right
To slip a shot:
1. To show the slip displ ay, do one of the follow ing:
 While in Source/Record mode, drag a lasso around the entire seg-
ment from right to left.
 While in Trim mode (and only when the pointer becomes a trim
roller), double-click a segment of video or audio in the Timeline, or
Shift+click inside the opposite end of the clip that you are trimming.
 While in Trim mode, right-click a segment and select Slip.
Notice the four new pictures at the top of the monitor.
NOTE For a slip, the
rollers face in, telling
you that only the shot
between the rollers will
be affected.
