  • Trimming Edits in the Viewer

    You can perform four types of trim operations in the Viewer: Ripple, Roll, Slip, and Resize. Remember that you can perform trim operations only on sequence clips, so all these trim operations require you to open the sequence clip in the Viewer by double-clicking it in the Timeline.

    To perform a Ripple edit in the Viewer:

    1.

    From the Tool palette, choose the Ripple tool.

    2.

    In the Timeline, double-click the clip to open it in the Viewer.

    3.

    In the Viewer's Scrubber bar, drag either the In or the Out point to ripple the clip (Figure 11.54 ).

    To perform a Roll edit in the Viewer:

    1.

    From the Tool palette, choose the Roll tool.

    2.

    In the Timeline, double-click the clip to open it in the Viewer.

    3.

    In the Viewer's Scrubber bar, drag either the In or the Out point to roll the edit.

    If you run out of media to accommodate the shift in your edit point, an overlay appears on the image in the Viewer warning you of a "Media limit" error on the track that's run out of frames.

    To slip a clip in the Viewer:

    1.

    From the Tool palette, choose the Slip tool.

    2.

    In the Timeline, double-click the clip to open it in the Viewer.

    3.

    In the Viewer's Scrubber bar, drag either the In or the Out point to slip the clip.

    As you slip, the Viewer displays the first frame of the clip; the Canvas displays the last frame of the clip (Figure 11.55 ).

    Tip

    • You can also slip a clip in the Viewer by Shift-dragging either the In or the Out point with the Selection tool.

    To resize a clip in the Viewer:

    1.

    In the Tool palette, choose the Selection tool.

    2.

    In the Timeline, double-click the clip to open it in the Viewer.

    3.

    In the Viewer's Scrubber bar, drag either the In or the Out point to resize the clip (Figure 11.56 ).

    Figure 11.56. Dragging the edit point in the Viewer's Scrubber bar resizes the selected clip.

    You can drag the edit point to create a gap (by decreasing the duration of the clip) or cover an existing gap (by increasing the duration of the clip).
