Re: [Avid-L2] Re: split edit - L cut

That's not a bad idea, Steve. I'm gonna try that and see what it feels like.

True. Especially with the numerous ways to get into and out of trim
mode.

Trimming is certainly the key to mastering Avid -- but if you've ever
noticed, I believe the Extend key is actually part of the Trim tab in
the command console, so Extend is essentially a speedy trim shortcut.

Extend allows you to L cut using marked in and outs (which I suppose
you could also do in a way with trimming).

I have Extend Edit mapped just to the right of my Mark In and Mark Out
keys. So I tap a Mark with my index or middle finger and tap extend
with my ring finger and I'm done. If I have some incorrect marks
already on, then I can mark an in, clear my out by holding down the
shift key and tap extend.
