Rolling Edit Points in the Timeline
The easiest place to see how a roll edit affects your clips is the Timeline.
To do a roll edit in the Timeline:
1 Select the Roll tool in the Tool palette (or press the R key).
2 Select an edit point between two clips.
If linked selection is on, the edit points of linked items are also selected. For more
information, see “
Controls That Affect Trim Edits ” on page 509.
3 Do one of the following:
 Drag the edit point left or right.
As you drag, the Canvas shows a two-up display with the Out point of the outgoing
clip on the left and the In point of the incoming clip on the right (see also “
About the
Two-Up Display in the Canvas ” on page 565).
