Thank you! BTW in this mode you can just momentarily press j or l respectively to move the clip or its contents (and even speed up the process like in regular jkl playback) until you're satisfied and then press k button to stop movement
Hi @narikinareke6265. Many thanks for your comment and apologies for the extra long delay in responding. A good tip that, cheers. My K + J/L usage in this tutorial would be more appropriate for very short frame spans but the JKL technique that you explained would definitely be helpful for changes applied to clips across longer timespans.
Hi @Boz1211111. The main reason why I think people would use this tool is if they wish to alter both ends of a specific media clip on the timeline simultanenously.
Hi @FrostArchon . Many thanks for your feedback. This is noted. In terms of situations that this would be useful for, I'd say that DR users would utilise this tool is if they wish to modify both ends of a specific media clip on the timeline simultanenously rather than manually stretching or trimming one side at a time with the Selection (A) or Blade Edit Mode (B) tools respectively. I hope that this tool is helpful to you in your editing work.
Thanks for the explanation. I have been editing for a while now and I just can't get my ahead around this tool. I don't understand why it exists. You can achieve the same thing by using < and > (or SHIFT + < / >) in either Selection or Trim mode with the added benefit of being able to playback normally without it only playing a few seconds. Could you explain when this Dynamic Trim Mode would be preferable? Thanks!
I totally agree. In my 2 years using resolve I've never used this tool and all the videos I've seen so far just show things I can already do with less button presses.
Hi @Swayeee. Apologies for the extra long delay in response. Depending on how you wish for the Trim Mode (T) to work, one option out of Slip or Slide still needs to be selected via the Dynamic Trim Mode tool first. You don't actually have to have the Dynamic Trim Mode selected; you can just right-click and select either Slip or Slide and then use the SHIFT + < / > commands afterwards to apply changes to your media file edits with the Trim tool.

Great explanation! But it would be nice to add a short note on what situations this would be useful for.
