Trim to blue line?

[Job Ter burg]

It’s called Extend, and there’s a button for it that looks sort of like this

However, I think you will need to have a Mark In or Mark Put placed, so that MC knows in which direction you want to trim the cut.

To trim an edit to the left: Mark an IN point at the frame you want to trim to, then press “extend”. Ensure the correct tracks are activated.
To trim an edit to the right: Mark an OUT point and do the same.

LEFT = IN POINT
RIGHT = OUT POINT

hope that makes sense

Thank You both!!

Also, not exactly the same, but very worth looking into: check out “Top” and “Tail” in the user manual. This is a feature that I use ALL the time for quick trims to the heads and tails of shots. It’s sort of the reverse of what extend does, ie: if trims from the blue bar to the end head or the tail of the clip.

I believe it’s detailed on page 722 of the currently supplied PDF documentation.

Thank You Sir! This IS, overall, more of what I was looking for and to do. I enjoy Avid but I just need to learn the ‘Avid way’ some more.

I’m not English but I’ll still say Brilliant thanks to your tip.

Thanks Again Sir!!!

Lee.

Sure thing, Lee. Glad it was useful.
