In Media Composer:
Glide is a state and function which enables a Timeline segment to have two sets of dual Trim Rollers, one at the head transition and another at the tail.
In our era, when multucam is quite prevalent, this would be very useful.
For example: In a multicam Timeline where the video segments are in sync with a single audio segment which spans the entire timeline/scene/region:
If I Slide a video segment, it will go out of sync forcing me to Slip it in order to regain sync.
If I Slip a video segment, it will go out of sync forcing me to Slide it in order to regain sync.
Glide would automatically perform and eliminate the second step and would be controlled by the customary Trim controls.
