2Position the pointer over Sample Clip 2 in the middle of the sequence.

3Drag left or right within the clip. Notice that the media between the In and Out points changes, but the position and length of the clip remain the same in the sequence.

As you drag, the Canvas shows you the changing clip In and Out points in a two-up display. After the slip edit, no gaps appear in the Timeline.

Important:  You can slip the clip left or right only when the clip has In and Out points that leave extra media on the ends of the clip.
