Determining What Kind of Edit Occurs When Entering
Timecode Numbers

When you type a number in the Timeline, the current selections determine what kind
of edit occurs. For example, if both sides of an edit point are selected, typing +15 rolls
both sides of the edit 15 frames forward (to the right). In this case, it doesn’t matter
whether the Roll tool or Selection tool is currently selected in the Tool palette. If an
entire clip is selected and the Slide tool is selected in the Tool palette, typing +15 slides
the selected clip forward by 15 frames. If the Slip tool was selected instead, typing +15
would slip the selected clip by 15 frames.
