That doesn't seem to work for me? It's still the underlying footage that moves, not the trimmed section

If you only want to move the layer select the Selection Tool and move the layer. I think there is a little confussion on what you are trying to tell us. I think is a combination of Sliding (pan Behind tool) and moving (selection tool). AE doesn't have a tool to do this automatically.

You can also use the ALT+[ and ALT+] commands (option key if you are on a mac) to set the new start and end point of your layer without moving or sliding the layer's position.
