Perform slip and slide edits
Just as ripple and rolling edits allow you to adjust a cut between two clips, slip and slide edits are useful when you want
to adjust two cuts in a sequence of three clips. When you use the Slip or Slide tool, the Program Monitor displays the
four frames involved in the edit side by side, except when editing audio only.
Program Monitor during a slide edit
Though Slip and Slide tools are typically employed on the center of three adjacent clips, each tool functions normally
even if the clip is adjacent to a clip on one side and blank space on the other.
Perform a slip edit
A slip edit shifts a clip’s In and Out points forward or backward by the same number of frames in a single action. By
dragging with the Slip tool, you can change a clip’s starting and ending frames without changing its duration or
affecting adjacent clips.
