# Trim layer animated icon

The layer's out-point is trimmed. Light: the out-point handle drives in 6 and stops dead a little past its mark; the clip's end follows it 50 ms later, shortening the layer, and both settle. Strong: the handle first pulls back, then slams in well past its mark, rebounds and settles; the clip's end follows each beat. The time ruler never moves; the preview reset fades it back.
