Trim like an editor

A cut that feels slightly late is a trim away from right. This tutorial covers the five trim moves in the cinemaOS Sequencer: razor, ripple, roll, slip and slide.

Steps

1. Razor. Press C for the Razor and click the clip to cut it. Make a second cut to create a middle section.
2. Ripple and roll. Press B for ripple trimming, then B again for rolling. Nudge the edit with the arrow keys and watch the cut change in the viewer.
3. Slip. Option-drag to slip the source inside the clip. The clip's timeline position and duration stay the same; only the frames inside change.
4. Slide. Option Command-drag to slide the clip between its neighbours. The adjacent edges move with it while the clip keeps its duration and source frames.
5. Review in motion. Play both cuts. Keep the timing that serves the scene.

Notes

• In the recording the slide moves the middle clip to a start of 12:01 while its duration (10:00) and source in point (21:03) stay unchanged. That is how you can tell a slide from a slip in the inspector.
