the topmost clip.
Make roll edits with the Trim tool
A roll edit adjusts the start point and the end point of two adjacent
simultaneously. If you like where two clips are placed in the
, but you want to change when the cut point happens,
you can use the Trim tool to roll the edit point between the two
clips. No clips move in the Timeline as a result; only the
between the two clips moves. No other clips in the project are
affected.
When you perform a roll edit, the overall duration of the project
stays the same, but both clips change duration. One gets longer
while the other gets shorter to compensate.
In the example above, clip B gets shorter while clip C becomes
longer, but the combined duration of the two clips stays the same.
You can see a “two-up” display in the Viewer as you trim edit
points in the Timeline. This display shows a more detailed view of
each side of an edit point. For more information, see
