Selecting Edits in the Timeline
A variety of editing and trimming methods require you to select an edit point, or part of an edit point, in order to resize, ripple, or roll an edit. You can do so using the mouse or using the keyboard.
— To select an edit to roll: Move the mouse to the center of an edit point, and when the ripple cursor appears, click to select the edit.
