How to move a trimmed area along timeline without moving the footage
Hi
There’s the “pan behind” tool for shifting video along a timeline without moving the trimmed area but how do I do the opposite
ie move the trimmed area WITHOUT shifting the video along the timeline?

I don’t think there’s a timeline tool in Ae to do that directly. I think you’ll just have to re-trim to the new timing you want.

So you have “one second” of your layer and want the same duration but further along in the timeline?
I’m guessing you have a clock or something similar which you want to keep cutting to, but to keep in time. I’d use Hold keyframes on the layer’s opacity to turn it on and off and copy and paste those to the points where you want it visible.

Hi Graham
That sounds like a good workaround as I can slide the keyframes along, preserving the duration of the trim. I’m surprised AE can’t do what I want – basically ‘pan behind’ in reverse – but I shall move on!
