Sorry if I asked this before. I have looked and read, and can not figure out how to do this. Is there a key stroke that will move a clip, or range of selected clips frame by frame forwards or backwards?
If there is, I haven't found one, but, you can use the Object Trimmer (Shift+N) to move the object 1 frame at a time left or right. See below. Everything that is on the same track (or grouped like audio) to the right of the selected object will move the same distance. Ctrl+Alt+left mouse button on the arrows make 5 frame increments.

Thanks. I have seen the Trimmer pop up a few times from my bad key strokes. I fiddled with it a few times and really didnot figure it out. I read where some here in the past said it was useless. Seems simple to just have a key stroke that would nudge a clip. The main reason for wanting this, is... as I trim clips, sometimes I select a bunch of them and send them to the timeline. 20% of them have a 1 frame gap between them which is frustrating. Another "bug"? Seems to be the same if I put the clips in simple editing - story boarding.
The trimmers are actually quite useful, it's just that it seems daunting at first to try to figure them out. Once figured out, you will find them quite powerful. The easiest case for the Object trimmer is to accurately set a fade length; there is no other way to accurately do this. For the Edit trimmer, use it to accurately set a transition length without affecting everything else. There was a discussion on this recently.
See my tutorial on Basic Editing Part 2 - the last part of the video for how to use the Object trimmer and what the various arrows do. There is actually more to it, but the tutorial was already long enough and I removed part. Observe the numbers in the various boxes as parameters are changed to fully understand what is happening.
I just tried the Move Object with the Object Trimmer and was alarmed to find it only moved the picture and not the audio, however the audio "caught up" on closing the trimmer.
