How can I move a clip a certain number of frames in the timeline, rather than just dragging back and forth?
You can do this a couple of different ways. First, select the clip and choose View | Edit Details to open the Edit Details window. Choose Selected Events from the Show drop-down list, then change the value in the Start field and press Enter. This moves the event so that it starts at the time you specified. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to nudge the event right or left in the timeline. Select the event (or multiple events) and press the 4 and 6 keys on your numeric keypad to move the event left or right by one screen pixel. Depending upon your zoom level, this may equal a move of several frames per keystroke. To move the event or events one frame at a time, press the 1 and 3 keys on your numeric keypad. Since this moves the event by just one frame regardless of zoom level, press the key as many times as you need to achieve the number of frame movement you want. For yet one more approach, place your cursor at the edge of the event you want to move that’s closest to the direction yo
