Selecting Clips or Segments for Slip or Slide Trimming
To select clips or segments for either slip or slide trimming, do one of
the following:
|
|
While in Editing mode, select what you want to slip or slide. Then,
enter Trim mode by dragging a lasso from right to left around a
segment (two or more transitions). To select a segment for slide
trimming, press Shift+Alt (Windows) or the Option key (Macintosh)
while you drag the lasso.
|
Drag right to left around at least two transitions.
To drag a lasso around a segment on a lower track, press the Alt key
(Windows) or the Ctrl key (Macintosh) while you drag a lasso. You
enter slide trim by default. To switch to slip trim, Shift+click the
insides of the rollers. To return to slide trim, press the Alt key
(Windows) or the Crtl+Option keys (Macintosh) while you double-
click the segment.
You can also select two or more contiguous segments within a track for
slipping or sliding as a whole by dragging the lasso around four or
more transitions.
 |
|
Be sure to draw the lasso from right to left; if you draw from left to
right, you enter Segment mode.
|
|
|
|
While in Trim Mode, place the position indicator on the segment you
want to slip or slide, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click
(Macintosh) in the Timeline, and select Select Slip Trim or Select Slide
Trim.
|
The Slip or Slide rollers appear at either end of the segment.
|
|
|
While in Trim mode, press the Shift key and select both the head and
tail of a clip for slipping. Alternatively, select the outgoing tail frame
of the preceding clip and the incoming head frame of the following
clip in the sequence to prepare the clip for sliding.
|
You can also use this method to select two or more contiguous
segments on the same track, and additional segments on other tracks
for slipping or sliding as a group.
 | |
You cannot perform both slipping and sliding simultaneously.
|
You can slip and slide segments in a four-frame display.
To slip and slide segments in a four-frame display:
| 1. | |
With the Composer monitor stretched to the dual Source/Record
monitors, click the Trim Mode button to enter Big Trim mode.
|
| 2. | |
Place the position indicator on the segment you want to slip or slide.
|
| 3. | |
Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click (Macintosh) in the
Timeline, and select Select Slip Trim or Select Slide Trim.
|
The four-frame display appears.
