How do you perform a Rolling Edit to extend the playhead selection?

Performing a Rolling Edit to extend the playhead selection involves using a method that allows for precise adjustments to the edit points of clips without altering the overall length of the sequence. The correct answer involves clicking on the edit point and choosing the option to extend the selected edit to the playhead. This action allows for the modification of the timing of the edit point effectively and ensures that the transition between clips remains seamless.

This method is particularly useful in video editing because it fine-tunes transitions and maintains the continuity of the sequence, which can enhance the overall flow of the project. By selecting the edit point and choosing the appropriate command, you maintain control over the timeline and avoid unintentional shifts in the edit that could disrupt the narrative.

Other methods such as directly dragging the clip to the playhead or using the trim tool might not facilitate the same level of precision and could result in unintended changes to the adjacent clips or the overall tempo of your project. The option of pressing the Return key does not relate specifically to extending the playhead selection and is generally not used for editing adjustments of this kind.
