What does the Dual Roller trim function do in Avid Media Composer?

The Dual Roller trim function in Avid Media Composer is designed to adjust both sides of an edit point at the same time. This feature is particularly useful for fine-tuning transitions between clips, allowing editors to maintain synchronization between video and audio while making simultaneous adjustments. When using the Dual Roller, you can see the effects of your trim on both the outgoing clip (the part before the edit point) and the incoming clip (the part after the edit point) in real-time, which helps in achieving a seamless edit.

This functionality enhances the editing process by providing a precise way to alter the timing of edits without having to make multiple passes or adjustments. It is especially beneficial in fast-paced editing environments where efficiency and accuracy are crucial. The capability to affect both sides of the edit at the same time streamlines workflow by consolidating these adjustments into a single operation, thereby reducing the time spent on fine-tuning edits.
