t
Extract edit
: An extract edit removes a selected range of frames and closes the 
gap by moving the following clips to the left.
t
Lift edit
: A lift edit removes a selected range of frames and leaves a gap.
#
 Note:
Although the 
Slip and Slide tools are 
typically employed on 
the center clip of three 
adjacent clips, each tool 
functions normally even 
if the clip is adjacent to 
a clip on one side and 
a blank space on the 
other. For the Rolling 
Edit, Slip, and Slide tools 
to work as expected, 
you need to have 
sufficient unused head 
or tail frames to make 
the edits.

LESSON 8
Applying Specialized Editing Tools
Making rolling, slide, and slip edits
You’ll begin with a rolling edit.
1
Start Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and open Lesson 08-01.prproj.
2
Open Sequence 01 in the Timeline, if it is not already open.
3
Set your workspace to Editing by choosing Window > Workspace > Editing.
Three clips already appear on the Timeline, with enough head and tail frames to 
allow the edits you’re about to make.
4
Select the Rolling Edit tool ( ; keyboard shortcut N) in the Tools panel.
5
Drag the edit point between Clip A and Clip B (the first two clips on the 
Timeline), using the Program Monitor split screen to find a better matching edit.
The Rolling Edit tool changes the Out and In points of adjacent clips.
Try rolling the edit point to the right to 00;20 (20 frames). You can use the 
Program Monitor timecode or the pop-up timecode in the Timeline (shown 
here, respectively) to find that edit.
#
 Note:
This lesson 
uses NTSC-DV video in 
4:3 format, rather than 
the HD wide-screen 
format used in the 
other lessons.
#
 Note:
To ensure that 
you’ll be able to make a 
precise, frame-specific 
edit, expand the view of 
the Timeline by pressing 
the equal sign (=) key.
