Moving and Trimming Clips
The following sections describe techniques for moving and trimming clips
and discuss the effects of the Edit modes on these operations. The Nudge
function is also introduced, along with the process for setting the Nudge
value.
Using the Grabber Tool
The Grabber tool can be used to drag a clip from the Clip List or from an
existing location on a Track Playlist. You can drag a clip to a different
location within the same track or to a different track.

Moving Clips in Slip Mode
In Slip mode, you can move clips freely within a track or onto other tracks
using the Grabber tool. You can place clips so that they overlap or so that
there is space between the clips on a track. When you play back the track,
there will be silence in any open areas. Table 8.1 shows the results of
moving clips in Slip mode.
