Editing with the Precision Editor

Many edits are completely straightforward: one clip follows another. But sometimes you run into exceptions. How can I change the start and end points of two clips without changing the movie’s overall duration? How can I keep the end frame of one clip, change the starting frame of the next clip, but make the first clip’s audio extend into the next clip’s video?

Thanks to the close-up view the Precision Editor provides—the way it lets you clearly see how clips relate to each other—you can tackle these and many more editing challenges. You may use all of these tools on a regular basis, or you might use one or two now and then. The precision is there when you need it.
