t Extract edit : An extract edit removes a selected range of frames and closes the
gap by moving the following clips to the left.
t Lift edit : A lift edit removes a selected range of frames and leaves a gap.
#
Note: Although the
Slip and Slide tools are
typically employed on
the center clip of three
adjacent clips, each tool
functions normally even
if the clip is adjacent to
a clip on one side and
a blank space on the
other. For the Rolling
Edit, Slip, and Slide tools
to work as expected,
you need to have
sufficient unused head
or tail frames to make
the edits.

144 LESSON 8
Applying Specialized Editing Tools
Making rolling, slide, and slip edits You’ll begin with a rolling edit.
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and open Lesson 08-01.prproj.
2 Open Sequence 01 in the Timeline, if it is not already open.
3 Set your workspace to Editing by choosing Window > Workspace > Editing.
Three clips already appear on the Timeline, with enough head and tail frames to
allow the edits you’re about to make.
4 Select the Rolling Edit tool ( ; keyboard shortcut N) in the Tools panel.
5 Drag the edit point between Clip A and Clip B (the first two clips on the
Timeline), using the Program Monitor split screen to find a better matching edit.
The Rolling Edit tool changes the Out and In points of adjacent clips.
Try rolling the edit point to the right to 00;20 (20 frames). You can use the
Program Monitor timecode or the pop-up timecode in the Timeline (shown
here, respectively) to find that edit.

Note: This lesson
uses NTSC-DV video in
4:3 format, rather than
the HD wide-screen
format used in the
other lessons.

Note: To ensure that
you’ll be able to make a
precise, frame-specific
edit, expand the view of
the Timeline by pressing
the equal sign (=) key.
