Performing Precise Slide Edits Numerically
If you need to slide a clip just two or three frames, using the mouse may be difficult. For
precision edits, it is much less cumbersome to slide a clip numerically.
To slide a clip in the Timeline using timecode
1 Select the Slide tool in the Tool palette (or press the S key twice).
2 Select a clip in the Timeline, or hold down the Shift key to select multiple clips. You can
also select noncontiguous clips using the Command key.
Tip: You can slide multiple clips at once. However, if one of the clips cannot be slid, none
of them are moved.
3 Do one of the following:
• To slide the clip one frame to the left: Press Left Bracket ([) or Left Angle Bracket (<).
• To slide the clip one frame to the right: Press Right Bracket (]) or Right Angle Bracket (>).
• To slide the clip a default number of frames to the left: Press Shift-Left Bracket ([) or
Shift-Left Angle Bracket (<).
• To slide the clip a default number of frames to the right: Press Shift-Right Bracket (]) or
Shift-Right Angle Bracket (>).
