Making split edits
You can create a split edit by unlinking the video from the audio in adjoining clips in a sequence, and then trimming audio separately from video so
that the video of one overlaps the audio of the other. Typically, a rolling edit (or extend edit) is used for this task.
Pressing Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) when you begin to perform a rolling edit temporarily unlinks video and audio, allowing you to more
easily create a
(L-cut or J-cut).
Work in trim mode
Trim mode is the state where the Program Monitor is in a special trim mode configuration. Certain keyboard shortcuts, button clicks, and J-K-L
playback perform a trim operation, like a ripple or rolling edit. These behaviors are all part of dynamic trimming. Timeline trimming serves many
purposes, and you can trim in it dynamically, but trim mode is ideal for fine-tuning an edit. While working in trim mode, you trim by adding or
subtracting frames from the edit point as the edit plays back in a loop in dynamic fashion.
It is not necessary to loop playback in trim mode to refine edit. Some editors prefer to pause playback, and then click buttons, (or use J-K-L
keyboard shortcuts), and then begin looping again.
Editors use trim mode for such tasks as, refining dialogue, pacing a chase scene, or creating split edits.

Trim mode interface
The Program Monitor automatically switches some of its buttons and the user interface to show a simplified 2-up display when in trim mode. It
switches back to the standard Program Monitor configuration when exiting trim mode.
Within the Program Monitor, the video plays in a 2-up configuration, temporarily expanding and covering both left and right sides with a single
video view. The trim buttons and shift counters are placed directly below the video. All of the sequence's video tracks are composited together and
the audio heard during playback is all of the sequence's audio tracks mixed together. The playhead loops in the Timeline during playback so that
you can see the range of time that is being played.
