Using the Trim Edit Window
You can trim one or more edits very precisely by using the Trim Edit window. This window
gives a close-up view of all the trimming functions you can use in the Timeline. You can
modify the selected edit by one frame or several frames, quickly switch between Ripple and
Roll edits, and play the edit back to make sure it is correct.
The play controls on each side of the Trim Edit window are for viewing only. They don’t
change the position of any edit.
The multi-frame trim buttons can be configured to trim a different number of frames.
Clicking these buttons adds or subtracts frames from the duration between the In and Out
points. The –1 and +1 buttons cannot be modified. Values for the –5 and +5 buttons can
be modified in the General tab in the Preferences window.
For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preferences and Presets,” on page 95.
To open the Trim Edit window, do one of the following:
m Press Command-7.
The playhead jumps to the closest edit on the target track and the Trim Edit window
opens. The edit is selected as a roll.
m Click the edit in the Timeline with the edit selection tool. The Trim Edit window opens
automatically.
m Choose Trim Edit from the Sequence menu.
