To modify shots in the timeline, you use the Edit menu.
NoteIf a layer is soloed, the Edit tools (Trash, Delete, Trim In/Trim Out, and Mark In/Out) default to 'Ripple End' behaviour,
regardless of the Ripple Mode setting. If no layer is soloed, however, the Edit tools behave according to the individual Ripple
Mode selected (Ripple Off, Ripple Start, or Ripple End) and apply to the active or visible layer that contains the focus point.
For more information about Ripple Modes, see
Trimming Ripple Mode.
