how To choose Yellow or Red Trim tool
I know this should be so basic. (I’m coming from FCP).
I can’t seem to control when I get the yellow(ripple trim) or red trim tool. I have “R” set as kb shortcut for Ripple and “Shift+R” for Roll, but I can’t seem to choose between the Yellow (ripple delete) or Red (Ripple w/o delete..
It seems to arbitrarily happen.
Thanks much.

Steve,
If you go to “preferences – trim” you can check the “allow selection tool…without modifier keys”. It makes for much faster trimming and working overall. Then if you are using the selection key: when you are on a cut, the tool changes to the “roll”, and just before or after the cut it changes to the “ripple” (yellow arrow). If you want the “trim” (red arrow), which will leave a gap, hold down the command key when the arrow is yellow, and it will turn into a red one.
I have found this to speed up my editing dramatically. You then don’t need to use the shortcut keys for ripple or roll. -
That helps so much.
Thank you.
Steve
