Adding an Edit
The Add Edit function places an artificial edit point between the frames of a clip. The edit appears in the Timeline as a transition between two clips, but when you play the clip, the footage appears unchanged because the frames are continuous.
Use add edits primarily to divide and isolate portions of a clip or sequence in order to modify that portion without affecting the rest of the footage. Once you make the adjustment (for example, adding an effect), playback of the clip is no longer seamless because the two portions of the clip are different.
You can add an edit to a single audio or video track, or you can place the add edit across several tracks at once.
To add an add edit:
| 1. | |
Move the position indicator to the chosen frame.
|
| 2. | |
Select the tracks where you want to add the edit.
|
| 3. | |
Click the Add Edit button under the Composer monitor or in the
Timeline top toolbar.
|
The edit appears in the sequence with an equal sign to indicate an add-
edit.
