frames.
Combinations of Trim In and Trim Out trims are not considered asymmetrical even if the side of the edit point differs, since the movement of the
edit point is always in the same direction and there is no shifting of trailing clips.
Specifying Primary Direction for Asymmetrical Trims in the Timeline
For asymmetrical trims using the mouse in the Timeline, the primary direction is applied to the edit point that is dragged. If you select an edit point,
and then drag, it determines the direction and the primary trim type. For example, if you click the mouse to set up a Ripple In trim on Video 1 and
drag to the left, then all the Ripple In edit points that are selected on any track trim to the left and all the Ripple Out edit points trim to the right.
When using keyboard shortcuts for timeline trimming, the primary trim type is used from the previous mouse drag or trim mode operation, if the
edit point is still selected. If the edit point is no longer selected (or you never used the mouse or trim mode to trim with the primary type), then the
edit point on the highest-numbered video track with a selected edit point, or the lowest
points, is used as the primary type. Its direction is specified by the particular keyboard shortcut.
Work in the Trim Monitor
The Trim Monitor displays clip In and Out points at a cut so that you can see precisely which frames you are cutting. The left monitor shows the
outgoing clip to the left of the edit point, and the right monitor shows the incoming clip to the right of it.
