We start with the basic trimming functions and their keyboard shortcuts, continue to the ripple tool to adjust the clip length non-destructively, then move on to the roll tool to adjust the edit point of two consecutive clipsas well as the slip tool (this changes the clip content while the length of the clip remains the same).
To conclude the “Slip and Sliding” (you can think of the 1970s pop reference yourselves now; have fun with the earworm), we also cover the slide tool, which moves one clip within a group of three clips, as well as the best way to trim several trim points together and simultaneously.
