Create split edits
Ordinarily,
you set one In point and one Out point for a source clip. Even if
it’s a linked clip (a clip containing video and audio tracks), In
and Out points apply to both tracks of the clip. Set in a sequence,
the audio and video of the standard clip appear at the same time.
Sometimes you want to set the video and audio In or Out points independently,
however, in order to create split edits (also known
as L‑cuts and J‑cuts). When placed in a sequence, a clip trimmed
for a split edit will have its audio appear before its video, or
its video before its audio.
Although it’s common to create
split edits after clips are assembled into a rough cut, it’s possible
to trim clips for split edits in the Source Monitor before adding them
to the sequence.
Create a split edit- If necessary, click the triangle to
the left of each track name in a Timeline panel to expand the audio
tracks you want to adjust.
- Select one of the clips involved in the split edit, and
choose Clip > Unlink. Repeat for the other clip.
- Select the Rolling Edit tool
 from
the Tools panel.
- Starting at the audio edit point between the two clips,
drag left or right.
Note: If nothing happens, make sure that before you start
dragging, you position the pointer over the visible audio edit point,
not over an applied audio transition.
Set source In and Out points for a split edit- Open a clip in the Source Monitor, and
set the current time to the frame you want to set as a video or
audio In or Out point.
- In the Source Monitor, choose Marker > Set
Clip Marker, and select Video In, Video Out, Audio In, or Audio
Out.
- Set the remaining video and audio In and Out points.
(When you add the clip to a sequence, the video portion starts and
ends at different times than the audio.)
