Hello, in today's lesson we'll examine the techniques and tools used in rolling, slip and slide edits in Premier Pro. In this example, we have several clips that are a mix of A and B roll. Beyond the basic selection tool and the ripple edit tool is the rolling edit tool, which is found in the pull-down menu below the ripple edit tool. To you use the tool, you place it at the cut points and scrub left or right. In the program window displays the clip being trimmed in split-screen and shows the difference in time code on either side of the trim point. I'm changing that by one frame there. I go over here, there I've changed it by one frame. If I go over here, there you could see it drags into the next frame, the next clip. This tool is particularly useful when you must keep the length of your sequence the same, but want to change the trim point of an edit. Next, we have the slip tool. This tool here which is found right below the razor tool. It's similar to the rolling tool that it also doesn't change the overall length of your sequence. It only works on one selected clip, and it only changes the in and out points of that clip by the same amount. So if I click and slip this here, you can see the program window is displaying in the upper left that's the clip you're adjusting end point below that. So the clip at the upper left is not changing. The clip below is what is changing. Far right, displays the clip next to it, and how much we're changing the end point of that clip on the lower right. So only selected clip will show any change you've made with this tool. The other two were on either side of that will remain the same. This is particularly useful for adjusting timing. The slide edit tool which has found below the slip tool. Doesn't change the duration of your selected clip. Instead it moves the outpoint of the previous clip and the end point of the following clip by equal amounts in opposite directions. It also displays four previews in the preview program monitor. The top two images show the in and out of the clip you're sliding. The bottom two show the changed in and out points of the adjacent clips. While this type of edit is less common it doesn't change the overall length of the sequence. So in this lesson you've seen how you can utilize the rolling, slip and slide edit tools.
