Beginning to Edit
To begin editing:
| 1. | |
Load the first clip into the Source monitor or into a Source pop-up
monitor. If you have not already marked IN and OUT points for the
clip in advance or created a subclip, view and mark the clip as
necessary.
|
| 2. | |
Click buttons in the Track Selector panel to select the tracks you want
to include in the edit.
|
Only the tracks that have been captured for the clip appear as source
tracks in the Timeline. For more information on using the Track
Selector panel, see
Using the Track Selector Panel.
For example, with a talking head, you might select tracks V1 (picture)
and A2 (sound), if the voice was recorded on that track. You would
deselect track A1, which might have unwanted wild sound picked up
from a second microphone or no sound at all.
As another example, if you are laying down a music track first, you
would select track A1 or A2, depending upon where the music was
captured, and deselect V1.
| 3. | |
Click the Splice-in button on the Tool palette to add the edit to the
sequence in the Composer monitor. See Using the Tool Palette.
|
The Composer monitor displays the end of the last frame of the new
edit. (You can drag the position indicator in the Timeline or the
position bar under the Composer monitor to review the clip.) The edit
also generates a graphical display of the cut in the Timeline.
