You can make frame by frame trimming adjustments on the Timeline with the precision trimmer, while simultaneously seeing both the outgoing and incoming sides of the cut. For example, you can see the last frame of the clip just before the playhead, and the first frame of the clip just after the playhead. Compare each side of the cut in order to make a “match frame”, or to see how the two clips will play next to each other.
- Trim Both in the middle above both Previews engages both the end of the outgoing clip, and the beginning of the incoming clip for trimming. That means that for every frame you add to the end of the outgoing clip, you will take one frame away from the beginning of the incoming clip.
Adjust its Mark In and Mark Out handles by touching and holding them, and dragging each handle to the position where you want to start or end your clip. Alternatively, you can step through your clip using the frame forward and backward buttons, and then tap on the Mark In and Mark Out buttons.
