Reset In & Out point on a long duration layer already on the timeline
So for years I’ve been finding workarounds to this problem, but there has to be a Mandalorian way to do this?
Inside a 6 sec. animation comp I have a long clip footage (15 minutes duration). This clip contain different takes of a situation. Once the In & Out point are set and the clip is put on the timeline it is very difficult to easily change the in & out points of that layer if there is a long time distance between those In & Out points.
Let’s say I’m not happy with the current segment of the clip and I want to find a new head & tail of that clip. I know the new in point and it is beyond scrubbing, moving or pan behind distance of the current in point. How can I quickly change this In point without going back to the project or footage window and start all over again on the original clip?
I have some other workarounds using “home” , “alt”, “[” or “]” keys, but there has to be a better way?
Thanks for any insights, jedis.

If you right-click any of the column headers in the timeline panel, in the context menu, you can choose Columns > In and Out. With the In and Out columns visible, you can directly enter timecode or frame numbers for the in and out points. (You’ll also have to use the square brackets to adjust the start point of the clip in the timeline itself.)
