The rolling edit tool allows you to change to place of a transition without changing the length of the overall production, as long as there is sufficient head or tail footage with your clips. In this Premiere Pro tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the rolling edit tool with standard clips and how it really comes into its own when editing multi-cam sequences.

Learning the Tools 3: The Razor & Rate Stretch Tools
Play Video
The rate stretch tool is probably the most fun tool in the Premiere Pro toolbox and can be used in both subtle and obvious ways to play with the timing of your clips - while the razor tool should always be used sparingly and only when no other option will work. In this tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates how these tools work to both speed-up parts of a clip as well as slow-down parts of another clip. Andrew also shows how to affect multiple clips in one go and where the rate stretch tool can keep all the details of a precious clip and make sure it fits in that slightly wrong sized gap you have for it!

Premiere Pro Basics CS6: 18 Tools Part 3: Rate Stretch Tool
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates the 'Rate Stretch' tool as well as showing how to see if you are dropping any frames on your playback and how to turn on loop for your playback. The 'Rate Stretch' tool is a great way of fitting clips into your timeline that may be slightly too long or slightly too short for the gap you have for them.
