Blew my mind today with the simplest feature

Most of you will probably know about this and used for ages, but I’m just so grateful that I found out today how to do the slide and push between clips on the timeline.

I’ve been editing daily for the last four years had my shortcuts set to whatever of the most niche function, thought I knew the software through and through and just today I learned a new thing and I’ve finally figured out how to this thing elegantly. I’ve always just selected all clips forward, drag them further and extended the previous clip to desired length. Like a total cromagnon!

The correct way of doing this is to hold your cmd/ctrl until the cursor turns yellow and extend your clip to the desired lenghth while maintaining everything else in place!

I hope that this will be useful to someone who might not know about this either and will be as stunned as I was when I found out about this.
