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).

and Jeff Greenberg.
