Feature request: dedicated trim mode (ripple/roll/slip/slide) for the Studio timeline #3285

Description

@whitmanenterprises

Studio's current timeline trim (drag a clip edge) only changes that one clip's in/out — it doesn't ripple neighboring clips, and there's no dedicated mode comparable to Final Cut Pro's Precision Editor (two-up in/out view, ripple/roll/slip/slide as distinct operations).

For anyone doing real multi-clip re-editing (not just nudging one element), the lack of ripple support means every trim risks creating overlaps or gaps that have to be manually closed by hand — there's no single action that trims one clip and shifts the rest of the track to match.

Would love to see:

  • A roll edit (adjust the shared edit point between two adjacent clips, extending one and shortening the other by the same amount)
  • A ripple trim (trim one clip, automatically shift everything after it on that track)
  • Optionally, an FCP-style precision/trim view showing both sides of a cut at once

Happy to give more detail on the use case if useful.
