In the Timeline, move the pointer to the start point or the end point of the clip you want to trim.

The pointer changes from an arrow icon to a trim icon. The look of the trim icon changes to

Drag the start point or the end point in the direction you want to trim the clip.

As you drag, the clip shortens or lengthens. Numerical timecode fields indicate the duration of
the clip and the amount of time you are moving the edit point.

Any clips to the right of the edit point are rippled accordingly.
When you extend a clip to its maximum length in either direction, the clip edge turns red.
