2 Select a clip in the Timeline.
Note: To select multiple clips, hold down the Shift key as you select each clip.
3 Do one of the following:
 Type + (plus) or – (minus) and the number of frames to slip, then press Return.
 Press [ (left bracket) or < (left angle bracket) to slip the clip one frame to the right.
 Press ] (right bracket) or > (right angle bracket) to slip the clip one frame to the left.
 Press Shift-[ or Shift-< to slip the clip a default number of frames to the right.
 Press Shift-] or Shift-> to slip the clip a default number of frames to the left.
