With the current selection, you can also slide the clip with keyboard shortcuts by doing either of
the following:
•
Nudge it (one frame or 10 frames) to the left or right.
•
Enter an amount of time to slide the clip left or right.
For more information, see Arrange clips in the Timeline on page 117.

Show detailed trimming feedback
For more accurate visual feedback on edits involving contiguous or connected clips, you can turn
on “Show detailed trimming feedback” in Final Cut Pro preferences. For example, for a simple
ripple trim, this “two-up” display in the Viewer shows the end point of the left clip and the start
point of the right clip.
This display is available for ripple, roll, slip, and slide edits as well as for trimming in the
Precision Editor.
