I would like to add or remove a few frames at the beginning or the end of a shot, already present in a long sequence.
If the sequence isn't too complex, I sometimes have succes making shots shorter with Q and W.
Sometimes it screws up everything (for a reason I can't find) but most of the time it does exactly what I want: remove frames towards the playhead and not leave a blank space.
However, I can't find a solution for adding a few frames to a shot at the front or end, without having to use the A tool, nudge the entire line from where I want to work, and then make the shot longer. And I most certainly don't want adjacent shots to change at all in out or in points: annoying character of many "tools".
I would like to be able to click a shot and make it longer with one key press: extend it to the playhead whilst nudging the entire bunch of shots behind it to the right.
Even better would be just ONE tool that allows for making shots shorter AND longer with the arrow keys. Moving in and out points of one shot without having to use any other tool, without worries about blank space or destroying adjacent in and out points.
I tried using Shift Q and Shift W which would be ideal but it resuses to work like that: adjacent shots block the extention of embedded shots.
Any bright ideas? Avid can do it and soon we want to leave that platform but not if this function doesn't exist.
