In Premiere, how can you adjust the start and end points of adjacent clips without altering their overall sequence placement?

Using the Rolling Edit tool is the best way to adjust the start and end points of adjacent clips without altering their overall placement in a sequence. The Rolling Edit tool allows you to simultaneously trim the out point of one clip and the in point of the adjacent clip. This results in a seamless edit where the duration of the two clips combined remains constant, allowing for a fluid transition without shifting the overall placement of either clip in the timeline.

This method is particularly useful for fine-tuning timing and making quick adjustments to transitions without disrupting the flow of the sequence. This functionality makes the Rolling Edit tool an essential feature for editors looking to efficiently refine their edits while maintaining the integrity of their project’s timeline.
