A third way to trim a clip is to extend a selected edit point to a new location. Extending an edit always works in conjunction with the playhead location and the default Selection tool. The selected edit point snaps to the location of the playhead in the sequence. As with all trim options, extending an edit can make a clip longer or shorter. You can use this method to adjust two edit points at once, but that will be covered in the next lesson. Extending an edit point takes only a few steps. The first step is to make sure your pointer is the default Selection tool.
