Create split edits
Ordinarily, you set one In point and one Out point for a source clip. Even if it's a linked clip (a clip containing video
and audio tracks), In and Out points apply to both tracks of the clip. Set in a sequence, the audio and video of the
standard clip appear at the same time. Sometimes you want to set the video and audio In or Out points indepen-
dently, however, in order to create split edits (also known as L-cuts and J-cuts). When placed in a sequence, a clip
trimmed for a split edit will have its audio appear before its video, or its video before its audio.
Although it's common to create split edits after clips are assembled into a rough cut, it's possible to trim clips for
split edits in the Source Monitor before adding them to the sequence.
