Linking Clips to the Script
To link clips to the script:
1. | |
Open the script bin by double-clicking the Script Bin icon.
|
2. | |
Open the source bin for the clips that you want to link to the script.
|
3. | |
(Option) Sort the source clips to make the job easier:
|
| |
You can sort the Scene/Take column for an alphanumeric list of
clips that matches their relative order in the script.
|
| |
If you are not working with scene and take information (for
example, in a video documentary project), you can provide your
own numbering for the clips in a custom column, or you can sort
the clips manually in Frame view according to their order in the
script. For more information on adding a custom column, see
Adding Customized Columns to a Bin.
|
4. | |
Select the portion of the script that is covered by the first clip or clips.
|
5. | |
Select the clip or clips in the source bin and drag them to the
highlighted text.
|
![](/file/23437/Chip_2004-08_cd2.bin/avid_dvfree/info/XpressFree.chm/images/note.gif) | |
Make sure the pointer is over the highlighted text before releasing the
mouse button.
|
A slate frame appears above the text, with one or more of the takes
covering the scene as lines.
6. | |
Continue to apply clips to additional portions of the script until you
have finished creating all your slates.
|
Alternatively, you can create slates one at a time, place script marks,
and fine-tune the lining of each scene before proceeding to the next
portion of the script.
