Performing a Basic Trim
After you select your transitions and trim sides, you can perform a basic trim.
| Trim Right 1 Frame button | | Trim Right 10 Frames button |
| Trim Left 1 Frame button | | Trim Left 10 Frames button |
To perform a trim, use one of the following procedures:
|
|
Use the Trim buttons to trim forward or backward by 1-frame or 10-
frame increments, or by 1-frame or 8-frame increments (for 24p
projects).
|
|
|
|
Use the J-K-L keys to trim forward or backward in the sequence.
|
|
|
|
Use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard, as follows:
|
| – |
|
To move the transition a specific number of frames, type a plus
sign (+) or minus sign (–) and the number of frames (from 1 to 99)
you want to move forward or backward. Then press Enter.
|
If the number of frames is larger than 99, type an f after the
number to indicate frame count. For example, to enter 200 frames,
type 200, then type f, and press Enter.
| – |
|
To move the transition to an exact timecode, type a timecode
number larger than 99, including frames. For example, type 102
to enter 1 second and 2áframes (1:02).
|
|
|
|
Use controls in the Timeline by clicking a roller at the selected
transition and by dragging forward or backward in the sequence.
|
To have greater control:
|
|
|
Press the Alt key (Windows) or the Option key (Macintosh) as you
drag one frame at a time.
|
|
|
|
Press the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Command key (Macintosh) to
snap to other transition points.
|
As you trim, all selected transitions in the Timeline move in unison. The Trim counter displays the frame count backward or forward for one or both trim sides, and the monitors display the new incoming or outgoing frames.
 | |
You can render transition effects while in Trim mode but you cannot render
segment effects. If the position indicator is on a segment effect or if the
marked portion of your sequence includes a segment effect, render menu
commands and buttons are not available.
