Easy editing question.. move a clip one frame..
After being forced working with avid for some time.. I have gotten used to a couple of small things that I miss when I use FCP.
How can i move a clip one frame forward (or backwards) without getting a clip coallition when there is a clip in front of the clip I want to move ?
(I want to move it with trim minus and trim plus buttons). I can do this in Avid, but not sure if I can do it in fcp.

Ripple tool….one frame forward ” [ ” one frame backward ” ] ” and this can be changed to other increments in your user preferences tab…Great Tool! *

Hmm. Not quite what I am looking for. I want to move the clip one frame forward on the timeline. I don’t want to change the clips content in any way. (hmm… if you just select a clip, and move it back and forward with trim plus and trim minus when there are no clips around.. that’s the thing I am looking for)

Hi
What your looking for is called ‘Slide’ and is the 2nd tool in the Slip section (4th tool from top).
Select your clip – hit the S key twise (or select it from the tool palette by holding the mouse button until you get the additional options)- use the <> keys to adjust the position of your clip without changing its contents but by adjusting the clip before and after.
Hope this helps

Yet another way is to hit r twice quickly (to get the the single ripple tool). Select the side of the cut you want to get rid of (if you have clip A against clip B, hover the ripple tool on the left side of the cut closer to clip and then single click so that just the end of clip A is selected, this sounds mroe complicated than it relly is). You can then use the left ” [ ” bracket to trim Clip A down and keep the Clip B in point the same.

Sorry about that. I must have misread your question. I believe that you can still use the bracket keys as shortcuts as you make your slip or slide edit.
