Nudging clips
In Premiere Pro CS6, you can move clips forward or backward in the Timeline by one frame at a time, or by a large frame offset. This command is
called "nudging". When you are nudging a clip (or multiple clips), you are moving it forward, or backward in the timeline. When the clips being
nudged are next to another clip, it overwrites clips as you nudge.
To nudge clips in Premiere Pro CS6, select a clip (or multiple clips), and then do the following:
To nudge the clip selection 5 frames to the left:
Press Alt+Shift+Left (Windows).
Press Command+Shift+Left (Mac OS).
To nudge the clip selection 1 frame to the left:
Press Alt+Left (Windows).
Press Command+Left (Mac OS).
To nudge a clip 5 frames to the right:
Press Alt+Shift+Right (Windows).
Press Command+Shift+Right (Mac OS).
To nudge clip selection one frame to the right:
Press Alt+Right (Windows).
Press Command+Right (Mac OS).
For more information about nudging clips with keyboard shortcuts, see this video by Todd Kopriva and video2brain.
Making split edits
You can create a split edit by unlinking the video from the audio in adjoining clips in a sequence, and then trimming audio separately from video so
that the video of one overlaps the audio of the other. Typically, a rolling edit (or extend edit) is used for this task.
Pressing Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) when you begin to perform a rolling edit temporarily unlinks video and audio, allowing you to more
easily create a
split edit (L-cut or J-cut).
Work in trim mode (CS6)
In Premiere Pro CS6, trim mode is the state where the Program Monitor is in a special trim mode configuration. Certain keyboard shortcuts, button
clicks, and J-K-L playback perform a trim operation, like a ripple or rolling edit. These behaviors are all part of dynamic trimming. Timeline
trimming serves many purposes, and you can trim in it dynamically, but trim mode is ideal for fine-tuning an edit. While working in trim mode, you
trim by adding or subtracting frames from the edit point as the edit plays back in a loop in dynamic fashion.
It is not necessary to loop playback in trim mode to refine edit. Some editors prefer to pause playback, and then click buttons, (or use J-K-L
keyboard shortcuts), and then begin looping again.
Editors use trim mode for such tasks as, refining dialogue, pacing a chase scene, or creating split edits.
For information about how to operate J-K-L scrubbing, see this page in Premiere Pro Help .

Trim mode interface
The Program Monitor automatically switches some of its buttons and the user interface to show a simplified 2-up display when in trim mode. It
switches back to the standard Program Monitor configuration when exiting trim mode.
Within the Program Monitor, the video plays in a 2-up configuration, temporarily expanding and covering both left and right sides with a single
