The clip is trimmed to the playhead (or skimmer) position, and the Timeline
updates accordingly.
New end point of the
trimmed clip
Trimmed clip
In the case of connected clips or storylines, Final Cut Pro trims the selected clip. If there
is no selection, Final Cut Pro trims the topmost clip.
Make roll edits with the Trim tool
A roll edit adjusts the start point and the end point of two adjacent clips
simultaneously. If you like where two clips are placed in the Timeline, 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 edit point
between the two clips moves. No other clips in the project are aected.
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 “Show detailed trimming feedback” on page 154.
