Selecting Additional Transitions
While in Trim mode, you can select additional transitions for trimming in different contexts.
Single-Roller A-Side icon
Single-Roller B-Side icon
To select additional transitions on contiguous tracks for trimming on the same side:
  Click the corresponding Record Track buttons in the Track Selector panel. See Using the Track Selector Panel.
Likewise, you can deselect tracks in the Track Selector panel to remove transitions on those tracks from the trim procedure.
To select additional transitions for single-roller trimming in varying locations on different tracks:
  Shift+click the transitions in the Timeline.
This method is useful when you are working with staggered transitions across multiple tracks. It also allows you to select both A-side and B- side transitions for simultaneous trimming in opposite directions (asymmetrical trim). This is not possible with dual-roller trims.
As you move the pointer back and forth across a transition, the roller icon changes from an A-side roller (facing left) to a B-side roller (facing right) to indicate the type of selection.
You do not see the Dual-Roller icon in the Timeline.
To select both sides:
  Click the divider between the two frames in the Composer window.
  Select one side, and then Shift+click to select the other side.
To quickly add multiple transitions to the currently selected transition:
  Press and hold the Shift key and lasso the additional transitions.
You can select and trim two heads or tails simultaneously, in any combination, for each track in the sequence. All selected transitions are trimmed the same number of frames. This allows you to save time and, in some cases, to maintain sync by performing a single-trim procedure across multiple tracks and transitions. For more information about lassoing, see Entering Trim Mode.
