Slipping or Sliding Clips or Segments
Slip and slide procedures are two unique Trim mode techniques that allow you to make frame-accurate adjustments to a selected clip. They occur without affecting the overall duration of the sequence. Procedures for performing them are described in this section.
You can slip and slide the video and audio for a clip together. Alternatively, you can slip and slide a single segment of video or audio independently from the rest of the clip.
The type of trim you perform (slip or slide) determines which frames are updated, as follows:
  In slip trimming, the head and tail frames of the clip change because only the contents of the clip are adjusted. The frames that precede and follow the clip are not affected. The trim rollers point inward to the clip.

  In slide trimming, the outgoing (A-side) and incoming (B-side) frames change because the clip remains fixed while the footage before and after it is trimmed. The trim rollers point away from the clip.
