■ TRIM SELECTION

When you enter Trim mode, the interface changes ever so slightly. Now, instead

of a Source monitor, the monitor to the left is the A side of your cut. The monitor to

the right is the B side. You might notice that there are pink buttons underneath the A

and B monitors, as well as some tiny pink rollers in the Timeline. There’s also a button

that looks similar to a regular Play button under the Record monitor (see Figure 5.4).

Under the monitor windows, the icons change—more under the A or source side than

the B or record side. On the Timeline, a pair of pink rollers appears for each track

selected.

Trim Loop

Take a look at the Play button. Notice that the Play button underneath the record

monitor has a straight vertical line running through the center. It is actually not a play

button, but a Play Trim Loop button.

The Trim Loop allows you to continuously play back a small section before and

after the transition so that you can examine or analyze it. The default trim loop is two

seconds of preroll (before the transition) and two seconds of postroll (after the transition),

but you can alter this by adjusting your Trim settings. Select your Trim settings in the

Project window, and then select the Play Loop tab (see Figure 5.5). From here, you can

adjust the Preroll, Postroll and Intermission settings. The Intermission setting is by default

set to zero frames so that the trim loop will play continuously, which can be problem-

atic in some situations. For example, when trimming a fast-cut montage, you might be

overwhelmed with the number of transitions that take place during the loop. If you set

an Intermission time, the loop will play back, switch to black for the intermission dura-

tion, and then begin play again. This loop will continue until you tell it to stop.
