Editing Video
Editing a clip that exists between other Timeline clips
Before you edit a clip in the Timeline, decide how you want to affect adjacent clips and the
duration of the entire program. For example, when you make a clip shorter by moving its
Out point to an earlier time, do you want all the following clips to stay in place or to fill the
gap left by the clip you're adjusting? You can perform edits that let you specify exactly what
happens to clips adjacent to the clip you want to adjust, making it easier to edit right the
first time and preserve the integrity of the rest of the video program.
Premiere supports the following edits for a clip and the clips adjacent to it:
A rolling edit keeps the program duration constant. You adjust the edit line, and the
•
frames you add or subtract from one clip are subtracted or added from the clip on the
other side of the edit line.
In this rolling edit, the edit line is dragged earlier in time, shortening the previous clip, lengthening
the next clip, and maintaining the program duration.
