Most of the tools from the old Toolbox in 1.x now appear below the Timeline. This is great because you no longer have to open the separate Toolbox before using one.

But you might not notice that the Slip tool has instead moved to below the Preview. The Slip tool is handy if you want to change the part of a clip that is shown but don't want to alter its length (because, in Insert mode, that might move the rest of the timeline too).

After tapping the Slip button you then slide the double headed yellow arrow in the middle of the selection in the preview timeline to a new position.

Note that if you are a bit off to the side (off the rather tiny double arrow) you'll move the preview cursor instead and wonder why.
Another point to note is that when slipping the preview itself shows the beginning of the selection. If I remember previously you could also choose the end as well.

Yep, it's still there (I had to double check), but it doesn't always show if there's nothing to slip
(Thanks Mark)

I can see the Insert Clip button for photos but not for video.

By the way Mark, I’m looking at your screenshot. I can see the Slip button, but where is Waldo?

Maybe you’re not between clips on the timeline. In insert mode the insert button disappears unless you are at a junction. Waldo does this too

I tried in the same exact place with a photo and a video. The button was there for the photo but not for the video.
I forgot to mention that I did that on an iPhone X.
Same result for portrait and landscape.

Seems ok on my X. Are you sure the preview is showing the clip itself not the timeline but you are at a junction in the timeline?

Pretty sure I’m doing it right...
I’ll post a video later. Hopefully you see something that I don’t. Thanks!
Looks like you are running LF 1.7 in that screenshot.

Oops embarrassing. Just realised that Ir didn’t actually have v2 on my x. Never showed in updates list. Had to find the app listing to see it. Weird. Installed and found you were right. Sorry for confusion. Just been to dentist. Blaming that!
I’m wondering if the button goes missing because of the smaller window.

Mark, thank you for your help, I hope you are feeling better. I also think that it may have something to do with the iPhone’s smaller screen. I noticed for example, that on the iPhone, if you have no tracks selected and you want to split all tracks at once, the Split button is available only in landscape mode.

rom291, that missing tooltip is a slip.
