the clip you are slipping, you can see the outgoing frame of the preceding clip and the incoming frame
of the subsequent clip on the timeline.

NOTE In Slip mode, the Duration and Offset fields of the Trim View update as you slip, but are non-editable.
Performing a Slide
Sliding changes a clip's position in the edit sequence. It simultaneously slides the clip under the cursor and
trims the head and tail of the surrounding clips. The state of the Ripple button has an effect on slide
operations.
NOTE Instead of using Slide mode, you can select Slide Cuts from the Editorial Mode box, a modified Slide mode
that trims the clips before and after it, while also changing the frames used in a clip.
To slide a clip on the timeline:
1 From the Editorial Mode box, select Slide.
2 Position the cursor in the middle of a clip on the timeline.
The cursor turns to a slide cursor (a white square with yellow arrows if ripple is enabled, or a white
square with red arrows if ripple is disabled).
3 Drag left or right.
The position of the clip changes, and surrounding clips' head and tails are trimmed.
