Trim

Final Cut Pro Glossary

Trim a clip to make it shorter or longer in the timeline. Like most non linear editing apps, Final Cut Pro includes multiple tools and edit techniques to trim clips. One of the most common trim types is a ripple edit. Trim the start or end of a clip and other clips are pushed during a ripple trim edit. Although this ripple edit is impacting clips around it, we are only trimming this one clips start or end point.
