Trim Edit Window Options
 Dynamic Trimming: Select Dynamic Trimming to allow edit points in the Trim Edit
window to automatically follow the position of the playhead. For more information,
see Volume I, Chapter 9, “Timeline Basics.” The setting is also applicable for trimming;
see Volume II, Chapter 19, “Learning About Trimming Clips.”
 Trim with Sequence Audio: When this option is selected, you hear all sequence audio
tracks while using the JKL keys on either side of the Trim Edit window.
 Trim with Edit Selection Audio (Mute Others): When this option is selected, all audio
tracks except the ones currently selected in the Timeline are muted when you use
the JKL keys to play either side of the Trim Edit window.
 Multi-Frame Trim Size: This value determines how many frames are trimmed when
using the Trim Back and Trim Forward buttons in the Trim Edit window or the
Timeline in the equivalent shortcut keys. The maximum number of frames allowed is
99. For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 20, “Trimming Clips Using the Trim
Edit Window.”
Visibility, Track Locking, and Audio Keyframe Options
 Warn if visibility change deletes render file: Making an entire track invisible
automatically deletes any render files associated with that track. Make sure you select
this option to see a warning before this occurs.
Note: As an alternative to hiding a track and losing its render files, you can make
individual items invisible, which preserves these render files. To find out how to
disable individual clip items, see Volume III, Chapter 18, “Compositing and Layering.”
 Record Audio Keyframes: When this option is selected, keyframes are recorded
whenever audio level or panning controls are adjusted. The pop-up menu defines
how detailed keyframe automation is when recorded using the Audio Mixer or audio
filter controls.
Note: The Record Audio Keyframes button also controls this option. By default, this
button appears in the button bar of the Audio Mixer (Tool Bench) window.
