Slip: When an object is slipped, the content of the object is changed without affecting
its location in the track or duration. In other words, a slip allows you to use a different
portion of a clip without changing its duration or location in time. An object can only
be slipped after the object has been trimmed. Since there is no footage, behaviors and
filters cannot be slipped.
To move an object:
m In the Timeline, drag an object track to the left or right.
As you drag, the new In and Out points of the clip appear above the pointer. The
triangle adjacent to the In and Out values represents Delta (the amount of change in
the edit).
Note: To snap to other objects in the Timeline, press Shift while dragging.
There are two ways to trim an object in the Timeline: You can drag an end of an
object’s bar in the Timeline to set an In or Out point, or you can use the Mark menu.
To trim an object by dragging its bar in the Timeline:
1 Position the pointer at the beginning or end of the object’s bar you want to trim.
The pointer changes to the Trim tool.
2 Drag the end of the bar until it reaches the frame where you want the clip to begin
or end.
