To do this, select <strong>Sequence<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Trim Edit,<\/strong> or simply use keyboard shortcut <strong>T<\/strong>. Once open, the playhead on the timeline will snap to the closest edit point, and the Program monitor will switch to a <strong>two-screen display.<\/strong> These two screens show you the <strong>In<\/strong> and <strong>Out<\/strong> points of the adjacent clips along with their source timecode.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Precision Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro\u2019s Trim Mode - Panel\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/d435055bed262fc42532a2af17f81557.jpeg\" alt=\"Precision Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro\u2019s Trim Mode - Panel\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Playback will <strong>loop<\/strong> when Trim Mode is active, giving you the opportunity to view changes to the edit point as you make them.
