Slipping Movies in the Timeline
Slipping a movie in the timeline will not change its duration, but the contents relative to
earlier and later material will change. Imagine looking through a train window as the
landscape slides by. The size of the window always remains the same, but the view keeps
changing.
When you slip a shot, the start time changes and the number of frames that you slipped
appear in the timeline. Slipping has no affect on the keyframes in the track.
