To use the J-K-L keys in Trim mode to only play, step, and shuttle, without trimming, deselect the J-K-L Trim option in the Trim Settings dialog box. |
1. | Click either the outgoing (A-side) or incoming (B-side) monitor to play in real time during the trim. |
2. | Select one or more transitions for single-roller or dual-roller trimming. |
3. | Use the J-K-L keys to step, play, or shuttle through the footage at varying speeds: |
Press and hold the K key while pressing the J or the L key to step slowly backward or forward through the footage. When you find the frame where you want to relocate the transition, release the K key to complete the trim. |
Press the J or the L key once to play at normal speed, or more than once to shuttle at higher speeds. When you see the frame where you want to relocate the transition, press the space bar or the K key to complete the trim. |
When trimming with the J-K-L keys, you cannot completely trim away a segment. The Avid system always leaves one frame. To remove the remaining frame, see Performing a Basic Trim. |
