Figure 6-48: Two selected outpoint handlers
The following two trimming techniques are called ’slip and slide trim-
ming’. These are two sophisticated trimming techniques which can be
used for a frame accurate moving of in- and outpoints of clips while
maintaining the length and duration of the timeline:
– Slide trimming: When you select one out- and one inpoint handler
and thereby enclose another clip, you can change the out- and
inpoint of the two clips while the enclosed clip is fully maintained, in
its length as well as in its contents. This way you can alter the posi-
tion of the enclosed clip while the timeline length remains constant.

– Slip trimming: When you select the in- and outpoint handlers of
one clip alone, you can change its in- and outpoint simultaneously.
This will change the contents of the clip only. The length of the clip,
its position and the length of the timeline is preserved.

6.4.11 Marking Positions in the Timeline
To mark certain positions in the timeline, e.g. to remind you to cut the
clip at this position or other reasons, you can place timeline markers in
the timeline of the Edit Tool.
