■ MORE TRIMMING CONSIDERATIONS

the A side of the transition will play, and you will be able to detect whether or not it

has the stray frame. Select the W button to loop the B side of the transition only. By

isolating the sides of the transition, you should be able to find the bad frame.

For Xpress Pro users, this process will work only if you have retained the default

keyboard mapping of the Go To In and Go To Out buttons. If you have not, instead of

using the Q button on your keyboard, press the key that you have assigned for Go To

In. Instead of the W button, press the key that you have assigned for Go To Out.

Adding Filler While Trimming

In some cases, you might want to trim on one side of a single track and keep everything

in sync (see Figure 5.17). The best way to do it is to add filler while trimming. To add

filler while trimming, go into Trim mode and select one side (A or B) of a transition.

While clicking and holding on the pink rollers, hold down the Alt key (Windows) or

Ctrl key (Mac). This adds or subtracts filler on the unselected tracks so that sync is

maintained. Make sure that you have sync locks turned off during this operation.

Another way to maintain sync while adding filler is to turn the sync locks on.

Whenever you trim a single side and add frames, it adds filler on the tracks to maintain

sync. If you try to reduce frames from a single track, it will refuse the edit.

Extend Function

In some cases, you might want to extend a single or multiple tracks forward or back-

ward to a specified point without entering the Trim mode. For example, if cutting a

news story, you may add an on-camera sound bite, which in turn can have video

extended backward to backtime the viewers to the sound. This sort of introduction of

a newsperson is fairly common. It is easier to select the video track on the incoming

shot and extend it backward to a cue point than to enter Trim mode.

Note: Over the years,a lot of my students have tried in vain to use the Extend mode for trimming.This is

like the pie without the à la mode, the pizza crust without the toppings,the … well,you get the idea.Please,

for the benefit of your own education and your survival out there in the editing world,do not use Extend

mode for such purpose.It takes much more time to do an extend than a trim,and you would be avoiding one

of the best features of Free DV and Xpress Pro.
