In this slide edit, a clip is dragged left so that it starts earlier in the sequence, shortening the preceding clip and lengthening the following clip.

1. Select the Slide tool

.

2. Position the pointer on the clip you want to adjust, and drag left to move the Out point of the preceding clip and the In point of the following

clip earlier in time, or drag right to move the Out point of the preceding clip and the In point of the following clip later in time.

When you release the mouse, Premiere Pro updates the In and Out points for the adjacent clips, displaying the result in the Program Monitor
and maintaining the clip and sequence duration. The only change to the clip you moved is its position in the sequence.

Press Command+Shift+Left (Mac OS).

To nudge the clip selection 1 frame to the left:
