How do I select the rolling edit tool in Premiere Pro?

Published in Premiere Pro Editing 1 min read

You can select the Rolling Edit tool in Premiere Pro by either pressing the N key on your keyboard or by selecting it from the Tools panel.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • Using the Keyboard Shortcut: The easiest way to select the Rolling Edit tool is to press the N key on your keyboard. This will immediately activate the tool.

  • Using the Tools Panel:

    1. Look for the Tools panel in your Premiere Pro interface. It's usually located on the left side of the screen.
    2. The Rolling Edit tool is grouped with the Ripple Edit tool. You may need to click and hold on the Ripple Edit tool icon to reveal the Rolling Edit tool.
    3. Click on the Rolling Edit tool icon to select it.

The Rolling Edit tool is useful for adjusting the cut point between two clips in your timeline without changing the overall duration of the edit. It moves the edit point between two adjacent clips, shortening one and lengthening the other by the same amount.
