Creating Overlap Edits
You can use an overlap edit (or L-edit) to smooth a transition by giving the viewer the illusion that the audio or video is shared between two separate but adjacent clips.
To create an overlap edit:
| 1. | |
Perform a straight-cut edit between two clips, including audio and
video tracks.
|
| |
If the timing of the video edit is crucial, mark edit points according
to video.
|
|
| |
If the timing of the audio transition is crucial, mark edit points
according to audio.
|
| 2. | |
Perform a dual-roller trim on either the video track or the audio tracks,
but not both.
|
|
| |
If the video transition occurs at the correct place, but you want the
audio from one clip to linger into the other (or the reverse), trim
the audio tracks accordingly.
|
|
| |
If the audio transition occurs at the correct place, but you want the
video to transition either before or after the audio cut, trim the
video track accordingly.
