Do one of the following:

Drag the edit point left or right.

Press the Plus Sign (+) key or the Minus Sign (–) key followed by the timecode duration to add
or subtract from the current edit, and press Return.
The timecode entry field (with blue numbers) appears in the Dashboard in the toolbar as
you type.
For more information about entering timecode values, see

Navigate using timecode

on

page 144.

Position the playhead or skimmer at a point in the Timeline to which you want to move the
edit point, and choose Edit > Extend Edit (or press Shift-X).

The edit point is rolled to the new location. The combined duration of the two clips stays
the same.

If you can’t roll the edit point any farther and one side of the edit point appears red, you’ve
reached the end of the media for one of the two clips.
