To quickly resize the beginning or end of a clip to the very
beginning or end of available media:
 Double-click the In point of the clip to move the In point to the very beginning of that
clip’s media.
 Double-click the Out point of the clip to move the Out point to the very end of that
clip’smedia.
If you resize a clip’s In or Out point to overlap one or more neighboring clips in the Timeline, the
overlapping parts of the neighboring clips will be overwritten by the clip you’ve resized.
Trim Start and Trim End
The Trim > Trim Start (Shift-[) and Trim End (Shift-]) commands let you move the In orOut point of
all clips that intersect the playhead as either a ripple operation (in Trim mode) or a resize
operation (in Selection mode). You do not need to make a selection to use Trim Start and Trim
End, making these commands fast to use in the right situation. A classic use of Trim End is when
you have several superimposed clips of different lengths that you want to either start or end at
the same time.
 Trim Start resizes or ripples (depending on what mode you’re in) all clips that intersect
the playhead, so that each clip’s In point is moved to the current playhead position.
 Trim End resizes or ripples intersecting clips so that each intersecting clip’s Out point is
moved to the current playhead position.
Clips that don’t intersect the playhead are not affected. Furthermore, you can exclude clips on
specific tracks from this operation by locking those tracks.
Trim to Selection
The Trim to Selection command simultaneously trims the heads and tails outside of a selection
of one or more clips so that the selection is all that remains. This command is found within the
Timeline contextual menu when you right-click on a clip.
(Left) A selection that includes parts of two clips, (Right) The result of using Trim to Selection to eliminate the
heads and tails outside of this selection
