Trim preferences
Last updated on
19 October 2025
Learn how to adjust trim preferences in Adobe Premiere Pro to fine-tune editing behavior, improve precision, and streamline your video editing workflow.
Trim preference refers to the settings and configurations related to the trimming of clips within Premiere Pro.
UI option |
Function |
Large Trim Offset |
The Trim Monitor includes Large Trim Offset buttons. Clicking one of these buttons moves a trim point earlier or later. In the Trim section of the Preferences dialog box, you can specify the number of frames that the Large Trim Offset buttons move trim points. |
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key |
Enable this preference if you want to make ripple and rolling edits without using a modifier key. |
Shift clips that overlap trim point during ripple trimming |
Enable this preference to shift the overlapping track items during a ripple delete. |
Ripple trim adds edits to keep both sides of trim in sync |
Enable this preference to add edits to clips that overlap a trim. These added edit points will then be trimmed alongside the selected edit points you are trimming to prevent clips from shifting out of alignment on either side of the edit. |
Playhead position determines trim monitor loop playback |
Enable this preference to loop playback around the playhead position instead of the entire edit point selection. |
