Allow numeric entries to work with Slip Tool
It would be great to select a clip (or multiple clips) with the slip tool, and then type in the number of frames/seconds/minutes/etc to slip the clips without altering their position on the timeline. This worked in FCP 7.
Right now, it seems the only way I can slip a clip using the slip tool is with the mouse, and that is very tedious if I need to clip a clip several minutes, and additionally, it's imprecise with the mouse.
As it functions now, if I select a clip with the slip tool and type in a numeric value, it moves the clip along the timeline, similar to as if I had just selected the clip with the selection tool.
Thanks in advance!

This also only seems to work on one clip at a time.
