    is there a way to slip a clip in the timeline. Not sliding, but slipping, where the in’s and out points change but the timing of the clip stays the same.

    thanks!

    ok say your clip is trimmed on the timeline. There is excess grayed out footage on either end of you trimmed clip.. you drag that back and forth and that does your slipping.. correct? or is that called sliding?

    no, you are right. My Question was a little off, actually.

    I am not trying to slip a clip, the timing of the clip should stay the same, I want to slip the IN and OUT points at the same time. I wonder if there is a way to do this?

    I guess you want to do two roll edits simultaneously?

    Anyway, the answer is no. You can only drag one in/out point at a time, or set one at a time using the alt-[ or alt-] shortcuts. However, you can trim a bunch of selected layers to the same point by using one of the shortcuts … if that helps.

    Are you finding that AE is a very slow editor? 🙂

    Can’t you just open the layer in it’s own source window? Then you can edit the in/out points, roll/slip the selected portion to different i/o points… etc
