Bin Editing into the Timeline
Bin editing allows you to bypass the process of loading clips into the Source monitor or a Source pop-up monitor, setting marks, and clicking the Splice-in button or the Overwrite button. You can use Segment mode to edit clips directly from a bin into the sequence in the Timeline.
| Extract/Splice-in Mode button |
| Lift/Overwrite Mode button |
To perform a drag edit from a bin into your Timeline:
| 1. | |
For a more accurate edit, mark IN and OUT points for each clip or
create subclips, as described in Marking and Subcataloging Footage.
Otherwise, the entire clip is edited into the sequence.
|
| 2. | |
Click one of the Segment Mode buttons:
|
| – |
|
Lift/Overwrite (red arrow) acts as an overwrite edit, causing the
clip to overwrite material of the same length in the sequence, while
maintaining the same duration of the sequence.
|
| – |
|
Extract/Splice-in (yellow arrow) acts as a splice-in edit, inserting
the clip into the sequence, moving existing material down, and
lengthening the total duration.
|
| 3. | |
Drag a clip from the bin into the Timeline. You can edit only one clip
at a time.
|
| 4. | |
When you find the correct location for the clip, release the mouse
button.
|
The Timeline reflects the new edit.
 | |
Once you have completed the edit, you remain in Segment mode until you
click the active Segment Mode button again to deactivate it.
