And as I click and drag everything moves along the Timeline.

I'm going to undo with Ctrl + Z here on Windows or Command + Z on Mac OS a couple of times to restore the clip. Now I'm going to go over to the Tools panel and I'm going to choose this Ripple Edit Tool. Those trim handles are useful for more advanced trimming workflows, but we don't really need them right now. I can click on the background of the Timeline to remove that trim handle. And when I drag to adjust the last frame of the clip and release the trim handle is still there. If I single-click and release the mouse I get a trim handle. I should note that by clicking and dragging in a single step it's a little bit faster to trim. You need to deal with the gap unless of course you put it there on purpose to add another clip. This is a perfectly good way to work, but it does leave a gap on the Timeline, which kind of makes it a two-stage process. I'll just move the Play head back so you can see that clip again. I'm going to release the mouse and the trim has been made. This helps me to decide on the content I want to use. On the right-hand side of the Program monitor I'm seeing the first frame of the clip after this one. You can see it's changing as I drag with the mouse. And as I do you'll notice the Program monitor updates to show the last frame of the clip I'm adjusting. You'll notice as the cursor gets close to the edge of the clip you get a red arrow indicating that you can trim. Probably the quickest way to do this is to click and drag on the end of the clip you want to change. And let's say I want to make the clip shorter I want to remove part of the clip. And we can see we've got this Kids rolling a tire.mp4 shot. I'm going to zoom in a little bit on the Timeline with the Navigator here. And this is a pretty reasonable edit with music, voice-over, and multiple visuals, but we want to adjust the timing. I've got a Sequence open in this project. Changing the part of the clip you've added to a Sequence is called Trimming. Perfecting the timing is part of the art of video editing.

Once you have the basic structure of your edit right, you'll want to look more carefully at the precise timing of the cuts. Just double-click on the file to open it in Premiere Pro. And you'll find that project file with the media associated with this lesson. For this lesson, I'm using the project file 05_01 Trim clips on the timeline.prproj.
