When moving clips on the timeline, there are many ways of controlling their movement.

Here are a few pointers that may be useful to you.

Douglas:

One additional function is available when "default snap to" is disabled. Holding down ALT and dragging a clip will move it one frame at a time, with a frame offset number replacing the center duration window between the two monitors. This is very handy when you want to move a clip an exact number of frames.

Thanks for the additional tip, Larry.

Anyone else like to add more meat to this skeleton of a Tutorial?
Go ahead.
That's why I make them - to stimulate ideas!
