Join David Franz for an in-depth discussion in this video Using the Trim and Scrubber tools, part of Pro Tools 10 Essential Training.
In this video I am going to cover what the Trim and Scrubber edit tools can do.…I will start with the Trim tool, this is the Trim tool right here, and if…you right-click on it you can see the three different varieties, we have…the Standard Trim tool, the TCE or Time Compression Expansion Trim tool and the…Loop Trim tool.…We will star with the Standard Trim tool.…Now this Trim tool's main function is to shorten or lengthen a clip or a loop,…let me show you how do that.…All you got to do is mouse down to a clip, and you can click once and it will…trim right where you position the cursor.…
You can also click and drag to adjust the length, and if you want to reverse…the direction of the Trim tool, you can hit the Option key on a Mac or the Alt…key in Windows, and it will change the direction and then click once, and you…can trim it like that.…You can also use the Trim tool to lengthen or shorten MIDI notes, and I'm in…Notes view here on this track, so I am going to mouse over one of these…notes and click and drag.…
