Trim with the current-time indicator (extend edit)
You can set the In Point or Out Point of a clip in a sequence to the location of the current-time indicator, sometimes
called an extend edit, if you first map two keyboard commands.

Set In and Out Points with the current-time indicator

trim. This targets the track or tracks. You can target video tracks, audio tracks, or both.

3 Press the keyboard command you assigned to Trim In Point To CTI or Trim Out Point To CTI.
About rolling and ripple edits
When you want to adjust the cut, or edit point, between two clips, use variations of simple trimming known as rolling
edits and ripple edits. By using specialized tools, you can make adjustments in a single action that would otherwise
require multiple steps to accomplish. When you perform ripple and rolling edits, the affected frames appear in the
Program Monitor side by side.
