• Click the third option to display—from top to bottom—small representations of the fifth and
first frames before the tail of the left clip or the head of the right clip, a large representation of
the tail or the head, and small representations of the first and fifth frames after the tail or head.

multiple-frame trim buttons ( or ) that trim 5 frames by default.

available space in the Monitor window and you want trim previews to appear at the largest size

Nesting edits using virtual clips
A virtual clip is like a second video program that you create in the Timeline, but separately from
the main video program. Like the main program, a virtual clip can contain multiple clips,
transitions, and effects, and can span multiple tracks. Once defined, you can use a virtual clip
in the main program any number of times. Premiere treats and represents a virtual clip as a
single clip, and you can edit and apply settings to a virtual clip as you can with a source video
clip. By using virtual clips to organize and group sequences, you can save time editing complex
video programs. Using virtual clips, you can do the following:
• Reuse anything you build. For example, if you create a short sequence involving four super-
imposed video tracks and three mixed audio tracks, and you want to use the sequence ten times
in a project, just build the sequence once, create a virtual clip from it, and add ten instances of
the virtual clip to the Timeline.
• Apply different settings to copies of a sequence. For example, if you want a sequence to play
back repeatedly but with a different filter each time, you can create a virtual clip and just copy
that for each instance where you want it to appear with a different effect.
