Rolling Edit Points in the Timeline

The easiest place to see how a roll edit affects your clips is the Timeline.

To do a roll edit in the Timeline:

1

Select the Roll tool in the Tool palette (or press the R key).

2

Select an edit point between two clips.

If linked selection is on, the edit points of linked items are also selected. For more
information, see “

Controls That Affect Trim Edits

” on page 347.

3

Do one of the following:

 Drag the edit point left or right.

As you drag, the Canvas shows a two-up display with the Out point of the outgoing
clip on the left and the In point of the incoming clip on the right (see also “

About the

Two-Up Display in the Canvas

” on page 406).
