Extending a clip…
Not really sure what this is called…but
What do i do if i want to extend a clip’s time but want it to push the rest of the timelines foward/ or backwards as I extend the clip? Do you do this in ‘trim’ mode?
Anytime I try to extend it, the clip just eats into the next one.

When you go into trim mode, you’ll see your two monitors change to show outgoing (left) and incoming (right) video. If you want to extend the outgoing clip ONLY, click on the left monitor. YOu’ll notice your cursor changes from a dual ‘roller’ to a single roller with the extension on the left. You’ll see it when you do it. Drag, or use the M (10 frames left), comma (1 frame left) period (1 frame right) and question mark (10 frames right) to trim as necessary. Clicking on the right monitor will allow you to trim or extend the incoming video. Trimming can be intimidating, but one of the most essential skills in any edit application. Just remember, you’ll affect audio synch if you trim only video (assuming you want to maintain synch with your video…)

He should have the yellow arrow highlighted if he wants to push the material forward also right? Not as system so I can’t remember, what a shame LOL.
