Drag the start point (left edge) of the video portion of the clip to the right, effectively trimming it

with a ripple edit.
The example below shows the video start point of the close-up of the man being dragged to
the right.

This creates a J-shaped split edit, with the start point of the audio overlapping the
preceding clip.

4

To complete the split edit, show separate audio for the preceding clip, and do one of

the following:

Drag the preceding clip’s end point to the left so that the two audio clips no longer overlap.

Adjust the audio (fade) level of either clip so that the audio overlap sounds natural.
