The ripple, slide, slip, and roll edits are all under one function in Resolve: the Trim Edit mode. Let’s check out what they are and how they perform different functions.

In Resolve, trim is a dynamic process. When you’re in the Trim Edit mode, you can complete different trim edits depending on where you place your cursor on the clip. This is a much faster process for performing edit tasks. You no longer have to hit various keyboard shortcuts or find the particular edit tool icon. Remember, you need to be in the Trim Edit mode (T on the keyboard) to perform these functions.

These are best learned by experimentation once you know roughly what they do.

• Bring your cursor just in from the edge of a clip to perform a ripple edit. As a side note, if the edge of your clip is highlighted green, that means the clip still has unused footage—so you can extend it. If the edge is red, that signifies there’s no more footage to work from.
