Editing sequences and clips
Last updated 11/6/2011
In this slip edit, a clip is dragged left, moving its source In and Out points later in time.
1
Select the Slip tool
.
2
Position the pointer on the clip you want to adjust, and drag left to move the In and Out points later in the clip, or
drag right to move the In and Out points earlier in the clip.
Premiere Pro updates the source In and Out points for the clip, displaying the result in the Program Monitor and
maintaining the clip and sequence duration.
Perform a slide edit
A slide edit shifts a clip in time while trimming adjacent clips to compensate for the move. As you drag a clip left or
right with the Slide tool, the Out point of the preceding clip and the In point of the following clip are trimmed by the
number of frames you move the clip. The clip’s In and Out points (and hence, its duration) remain unchanged.
In this slide edit, a clip is dragged left so that it starts earlier in the sequence, shortening the preceding clip and lengthening the following clip.
1
Select the Slide tool

2
Position the pointer on the clip you want to adjust, and drag left to move the Out point of the preceding clip and
the In point of the following clip earlier in time, or drag right to move the Out point of the preceding clip and the
In point of the following clip later in time.
When you release the mouse button, Premiere Pro updates the In and Out points for the adjacent clips, displaying the
result in the Program Monitor and maintaining the clip and sequence duration. The only change to the clip you moved
is its position in the sequence.
Performing split edits
You can create a split edit by temporarily unlinking the video from the audio in adjoining clips, trimming their audio
separately from their video, and placing them in a sequence so that the video of one overlaps the audio of the other.
