Trim with keyboard shortcuts
The following keyboard shortcuts perform a trim whenever there is an active edit point selection, even if you are not in trim mode. If the full amount
of the trim cannot be performed, the allowable amount is used and a tool tip indicates that the trim is blocked or limited by media or minimum
duration.
Moves the edit points by one frame in the specified direction (left for backward, and right for forward).
Moves the edit points by five frames, or some other number of frames which is settable in the
large trim offset preference. To change the large trim offset, choose Edit > Preferences > Trim (Windows), or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Trim
(Mac OS), and then enter a new amount of frames for large trim offset.
Moves the selected edit point which is nearest the playhead to the position of the playhead, much like a
rolling edit.
The existing Extend Previous Edit to Playhead and Extend Next Edit to Playhead are still available, since they operate on clips on targeted
tracks without needing an active edit point selection.
Ripple trims the previous or next edit point to the Playhead.
You do not need to select an edit point to perform a ripple trim to playhead edit. Like the Extract command, a ripple trim to playhead edit does not
affect clips on other tracks that are locked or not sync-locked, but all other tracks will have the region ripple-deleted. Sequence In and Out points
are not affected.
A ripple trim to the playhead at the beginning or ending of a clip is sometimes called "Top and Tail" in editing terminology.
Trim with numeric keypad entry
You can specify a numeric offset using the numeric keypad whenever there is an active edit point selection, even if you are not in trim mode.
When the Timeline is active, the current timecode indicator on the left becomes a text box that shows the numbers that are typed on the numeric
keypad. The "+" key moves the trim forward to the right, increasing in time (you can omit the "+" key, and type a number). The "
trim backward to the left, decreasing in time. The numeric offset is typically a small number of frames, so any number from 1 to 99 is treated as
frames. If you want to specify a timecode, then use the numeric period key "." to separate the minute:second:frame parts for timecode entry. Press
the numeric keypad Enter key to perform the trim using all of the currently selected edit points.
When the Program Monitor is in trim mode, then you can also use the numeric keypad to perform a trim when the Program Monitor is active.
See this article by Clay Asbury on the Premiumbeats.com website for using the Play Around button and Loop button to assist dynamic trimming in
the Timeline.
Trim with the selection tool
You can change a clip’s In point or Out point by dragging its edit point with the selection tool in a Timeline panel. As you drag, the current In or Out
point appears in the Program Monitor. A tool tip displays the number of frames that you are trimming: a negative value if you are dragging the
edge toward the beginning of the sequence and a positive number if you are dragging toward the end of the sequence. You cannot trim past the
original In and Out points of the source footage.
Click the selection tool and do one of the following:
To edit the In point, drag the left edge of the clip once the Trim-in icon appears.
To edit the Out point, drag the right edge of the clip once the Trim-out icon appears.
