Using the Trim Tool With the Mouse
When trimming using the mouse, you can perform every kind of trim operation that’s available
using a single tool, simply by clicking the Trim mode/tool button, and then dragging on the
appropriate area of a clip in the Timeline.
Methods of trimming with the mouse in Trim Edit mode:
To slip a clip: To slip a clip’s range of content without changing its position in the
Timeline, click the middle top region of a clip, and then drag to the left or right to
“slip” the clip to contain a different range of frames. A dashed overlay shows the total
duration of media available for you to slip with, which moves left and right as you drag.
Clicking the top clip area before a slip, an overlay shows the clip’s available range of media
After dragging to slip, clips don’t move, but the slipped clip’s range of media has changed
When slipping clips, a 4-up display shows all relevant outgoing and incoming frames, so
you can compare the continuity of action from one clip to the next. During a slip, the top
two frames update to show you the new incoming and outgoing frames of the clip
being slipped, relative to the unchanging outgoing frame of the clip to the left and
incoming frame of the clip to the right.
