Adobe Premiere Pro Help Editing a Sequence
Using Help | Contents | Index Back 154
A slide edit shifts a clip in time while trimming adjacent clips to compensate for the move.
As you drag a clip left or right with the slide tool, the Out point of the preceding clip and
the In point of the following clip are trimmed by the number of frames you move the clip.
The clip’s In and Out points (and hence, its duration) remain unchanged.
In this slide edit, a clip is dragged left so that it starts earlier in the sequence, shortening the
preceding clip and lengthening the following clip.
To perform a slip edit:
1 Select the slip tool .
2 Position the pointer on the clip you want to adjust, and do one of the following:
• Drag left to move the In and Out points earlier in the clip.
• Drag right to move the In and Out points later in the clip.
Adobe Premiere Pro updates the source In and Out points for the clip, displaying the result
in the Program view and maintaining the clip and sequence duration.

When you release the mouse button, Adobe Premiere Pro updates the In and Out points
for the adjacent
clips, displaying the result in the Program view and maintaining the clip
and sequence duration. The only change to the clip you moved is its position in the
sequence.
