What does the Rolling Edit tool do in video editing?

The Rolling Edit tool is designed to alter the length of a clip on the timeline while simultaneously adjusting the adjacent clips to maintain the overall timeline length. When you use this tool, you can effectively shorten or lengthen a clip, and the neighboring clips will automatically shift to ensure that there are no gaps or overlaps created in the sequence. This feature is particularly useful for precise edits where maintaining the timing of adjacent content is crucial for the overall narrative or pacing of the project. By leveraging the Rolling Edit tool, editors can maintain continuity and rhythm in their editing process.
