• Drag the center jog disk left or right.
• Click the timecode display between the views, type a valid timecode number to trim the edges of both clips to that
frame, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
• Select the boxed number above the center jog disk, type a negative number to trim both clips left or type a positive
number to trim both clips right, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
