I'm wondering if Resolve can do the following:

Say I have a very simple L Cut: two clips, each with one channel of video and audio. The cut occurs at one spot in video and another in audio. Thus an "overlap" or "L cut" or "J cut".

I want to trim these two transitions simultaneously (thus preserving overall sync) but I want to be able to position the playhead as needed on video or audio so I can monitor the trim from either position. Sometimes I want to make the audio work and let the video follow along. Sometimes I want to make the video work and let the audio follow along.

I've tried doing this and it seems like Resolve always wants to monitor the picture cut. Audio will be trimmed to keep sync, but I can't listen to the audio cut during the trim.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any light anybody can shed.

I'm hearing audio if I Trim from the left of the cut, but not when I Trim from the right of the cut.

That might be a bug.

Studio 17.1 b10 for Windows.

Thanks. Maybe so.

I probably wasn't clear. The idea is that if you have an overlap cut -- where picture and sound are cutting at a different place. And you trim those two cuts simultaneously, using dynamic trim, with JKL ... you should be able to put the playhead on either the audio or video cut and either watch the video or listen to the audio.

I don't his dozens, maybe hundreds of times a day, with Media Composer. It's essential to me and to a lot of editors like me who do long-form work.

Is that possible in Resolve?

Thanks --
