Quote Hi all:

I recently discovered that PD has a slip edit function, hiding in plain sight in the Trim window.

I would like to find the other two types of edit functions if PD has them
a) Rolling edit
b) Sliding edit

I've attached two images that I think illustrate the two edit types fairly well. So here's the challenge. Find simple ways to do these edits in PD as I've done with the Slip edit.
There is an edit function on the Multi Cam designer that provides a rolling edit function, but I haven't yet discovered the same for the main timeline.

Good hunting

Hi Scott

I think you should be looking at Action Camera Centre. Once open, click on the help to watch a very informative tutorial video. I would have thought it would be right up your street

In words of one syllable, please. What is achieved with rolling and sliding edits that's not achieved with ordinary fades etc.? Also, looking at the timelines of both isn't the audio subject to sudden changes without the use of audio transitions? Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

Hi:
OK, Where to start?
Cuts are different from transitions. I use transitions when there is a time lapse in my video that I need to soften or mask, otherwise, I just use straight cuts.
Yes, there is an abrupt audio change with a straight cut which usually isn't a problem, but in the clips I used in the examples it would be. BUT! Those clips were just chosen at random to illustrate the methods and make the edits clear.

If you look at professionally edited media, such as movies, music videos, even TV ads, you'll see that they don't use transitions all that often. Mostly if they need to soften an edit, they use a fade to black.
So when making changes to a project sometimes you need to move footage around. Slip, Slide and Rolling edits are ways to do this. There are numerous books that describe the process better than I can here, and the NLEs used by professional editors all provide these facilities (Avid, Davinci, Lightworks etc). These edit types mimic the traditional techniques used with film editing and are very powerful when provided in a Non Linear Editing program. Scott Hendry
