Using the Trim Edit Window
You use the Trim Edit window to trim one or more edit points at a time. When trimming
multiple edit points at once, you can choose which edit point the Trim Edit window
displays and trim each edit point differently. If you change the type of edit you are
performing in the Trim Edit window, this change affects all of your selected edit points.
