Using five timesaving editing tools: Lesson 8-1
You use the first three toolsRolling, Slide, and Slipfor a variety of situations including when you want to preserve the overall length of your program. They come in handy for precisely-timed projects such as 30-second advertisements. You've seen the Rolling Edit tool in action in the Trim panel.You've worked with the remaining twoExtract and Liftusing the drag and drop method. In this mini-lesson you'll use the Program Monitor's Extract and Lift feature to remove selected groups of frameseven when they're spread out over one or more clips.In some cases, it can be easier to make individual edits and forgo these specialized tools but it's good for any video editor to know how to use all five of them:
- Rolling edit Rolls the cut point between two adjacent clips, shortening one and lengthening the other (thereby retaining the overall length of the project).
- Slide edit Slides the entire clip over two adjacent clips, shortening and lengthening those adjacent clips without changing the selected clip's length or in-and out-points.
The Slide edit changes the in- and out-points of adjacent clips while retaining the original clip's edit points.
- Slip edit Slips a clip under two adjacent clips. Slip changes a clip's starting and ending frames without changing its duration or affecting adjacent clips.
The Slip edit changes the in-and out-points of the selected clip while retaining the adjacent clip's edit points.
NoteTwo points: Though Slip and Slide tools are typically employed on the center clip of three adjacent clips, each tool functions normally even if the clip is adjacent to a clip on one side and a blank space on the other. And for Rolling, Slip, and Slide to work as expected, there need to be sufficient unused head or tail frames to make the edit changes.
- Extract edit Removes a selected range of frames and closes the gap by moving the following clips to the left.
- Lift edit Removes a selected range of frames and leaves a gap.
Making Rolling, Slide, and Slip edits
| 1. | Play the Lesson 8 intro video. |
| 2. | Open Premiere Pro to the Lesson 8 project. |
| 3. | Open the Lesson 8-1 sequence on the Timeline.It has two sets of clips with enough head and tail frames to allow these edits.[View full size image] |
| 4. | Convert the Program Monitor to a floating window (Ctrl+drag its Drag Handle) and expand it to get a better view of the split screen as you make a Rolling Edit. |
| 5. | Select the Rolling Edit tool (keyboard shortcut N) from the Tools panel. |
| 6. | Drag the edit point between the first two clips on the Timeline, using the Program Monitor split-screen to find a better matching edit.I suggest Rolling the edit point to the right 1;02 (1 second and 2 frames). You can use the Program Monitor timecode or the pop-up time code (both shown in the next figure) in the Timeline to find that edit. |
NoteTo facilitate making a precise, frame-specific edit, expand the view of the Timeline by pressing the equal sign key (=).

| 7. | Select the Slide Edit tool (U) and place it over the middle clip (Clip B) of the second set of clips in the Lesson 8 Practice sequence. |
| 8. | Drag Clip B left or right.This is just to demonstrate the edit. You don't need to find a specific edit point. |
| 9. | Take a look at the Program Monitor as you perform the Slide edit.The two top images are the in-and out-points of Clip B. They do not change. The two larger images are the out-and in-points of the adjacent clipsClip A and Clip C respectively. These edit points change as you slide the selected clip over those adjacent clips. |
NoteAs you move the clip, you will eventually run out of head or tail frames and the timecodes will stop changing in the Program Monitor.
The Slide Edit tool moves a clip over two adjacent clips.
NoteTry both the Slide and Slip Edit tools on Clips A and C. Both editing tools work on the first or last clips in a sequence.
Using the Program Monitor's Lift and Extract functions
| 1. | Click the History tab and click New/Open to undo all the Rolling, Slide and Slip edits you just did. |
| 2. | Move the Timeline CTI to Clip B of the second collection of clips. |
| 3. | Drag a Viewing Area Bar handle (highlighted in the next figure) in the Program Monitor so its CTI is roughly centered. This is simply to make it easier to set in- and out-points. |
| 4. | Drag the Program Monitor CTI within Clip A to where the dancer's left foot hits the floorat about 16;18. |
| 5. | Press the Set In Point button (I). |
| 6. | Drag the Program Monitor CTI within Clip B to find a matching editat about 20;25. |
| 7. | Press the Set Out Point button (O).As shown in the next figure, your Timeline now has a light blue highlighted zone between the in-and out-points, and a gray area in the Time Ruler with in-and out-point brackets at each end.[View full size image] |
NoteThe Lift and Extract buttons look the same until you get really close to the screen. As shown in the previous figure, Extract has tiny triangles indicating that adjacent clips will fill the gap left by the edit.
