Sliding Clips in The Timeline: Slide Tool

Sliding clips in a timeline allows you to move a clip between two other clips without creating gaps. The duration and content of the slid clip remains the same, but its position changes. The adjacent clips adjust their in and out points to fill any space from the moved clip. The total duration of the three clips and the overall sequence remains unchanged. To slide a clip requires the preceding and following clips to have extra media, or handles, beyond their in and out points.

Slide Tool

Sliding Clips in the Timeline


Performing a slide edit allows you to move a clips position in the Timeline
between two other clips without creating a gap. The clips content and duration
remain the same; only its position in the Timeline changes. When you slide a
clip, the adjacent clips get longer and shorter to fill any gaps that would
normally be created. The combined duration of these three clips does not
change, and therefore the sequences duration remains unchanged as well.

In the following example, clip B slides to the left. The slide edit changes the Out
point of clip A and the In point of Clip C, but the In and Out points of clip B stay
the same. The duration of clip B does not change, nor does the overall length of
the sequence.

Slide Tool

Note: To slide a clip between two others, the preceding and following clips
must have handles (extra media beyond the clip In and Out points).

To perform a slide edit, you can drag a clip with the Slide tool. For precision
adjustments, you can use timecode.

You can also move a clip with the Selection tool, but this method may leave
gaps between clips. The Slide tool never creates gaps (with the exception of
sliding the first or last clip).
