Play Around Current

Frame button

When you click the Play Around Current Frame button, playback begins just before the current playhead position and continues just past the playhead. This provides an easy way to check your work.

Create an L-cut, in which the video precedes the audio:

1Make sure linked selection is still off. (If linked selection is on, click the Linked Selection button to turn it off.)

2Press R to select the Roll tool, if it’s not already selected.

3Drag the video edit point between Sample Clip 2 and Sample Clip 3 backward in the Timeline, as you see in the illustration below.

Now the clip’s video starts before the audio.

4Click the Play Around Current Frame button in the Canvas to see how the split edit works. You can also make split edits by rolling the edit points on audio tracks forward or backward.
