How to trim the end of multiple clips without moving them on the timeline

Hi all

 

I have a timeline with 3 tracks and i want to cut the end of all clips on the 3rd track. 

When i choose them with the ripple edit tool and trim the ends it moves all the clips forward a bit obviously. I dont want that  because i am using a timecode timeline and when the clips move they are out of sync with the other tracks. 

Is there a way to trim the ends (all clips from track 3) without them moving? 

 

Thanks in advance

With the Selection Tool active, hold down the Shift key and click the edit point at the end (tail) of each clip you want to trim.


Once all the edit points are selected, you can either drag them manually or use Alt (Windows) / Option (Mac) + Arrow Keys to trim or extend them without changing their position on the timeline.
