Creating an Instant Rough Cut
As an alternative to creating a new sequence by editing clips one at a time, you can quickly create a rough cut by selecting and loading multiple clips directly from the bin in Frame view and by dragging them into the Timeline.
To create a rough cut from a bin:
  To create a more accurate rough cut, view and mark clips in the bin in advance. See Marking IN and OUT Points.
1.  Click the Frame tab to enter Frame view.
2.  In the bin, sort the clips in the order in which you want them to appear in the sequence.
3.  Select the tracks for the edit.
  If no sequences are loaded in the Composer monitor, the Timeline has no features.
4.  Do one of the following:
  Ctrl+click (Windows) or Shift+click (Macintosh) the clips.
  Lasso the clips by dragging left to right and down to select more than one clip. See Lassoing Objects.
  Select Edit > Select All if there are no other clips in the bin.
5.  Drag the highlighted clips to the Timeline to splice the clips into place.
The clips are spliced together to form a new sequence based on the order in which they were listed in the bin.
