slipping a clip

[Tom Wolsky]

Select the item, and drag left or right in the mini-Timeline.

Actually, that’s a slide. I think he’s asking to move the clip in time while keeping the in/out points the same, right? Hold down option while clicking and dragging on a clip in the timeline, the cursor will change to the same “roll” icon that FCP uses.

Hey Greg and others,

I was trying this today, and great that it works, but it seems odd that this isnt the same as changing the In and Out TIMING in the clip properties. When you adjust the clip properties IN, all it does is move the clip in the timeline (!?) I dont see the point of that, when you can just as easily move the clip in the timeline by dragging it. Is there a reason for the slipping not being available as part of TIMING in properties? Perhaps this Timing thing should have a slip or slide check box to chose from?

Make sure your movie is shorten in the time line. I.e Begging or the end needs to be moved in. Then Hold ALT key and start dragging in the time line. You will be able to roll your movie in the time line.
I think this is what you are asking. If not let me know.

Hi mate, yep, Greg’s post did mention ALT dragging, and it works well, but I was just wondering why the timing paramters in the clip properties did a slide and did not allow a slip.

Cheers,
Mark.
