Lesson 4 Assembling aRoughCut
7 To make the edit, drag from the center of the source viewer into the timeline
viewer. When the edit overlay appears, drag over the word “Insert” and release
themousebutton.
When you choose Insert in the edit overlay, the source clip is added to the timeline by
pushing the second clip in the timeline to the right to make room. The overall duration
of the timeline is extended by the duration of the added clip.
8 Drag the timeline playhead to the start of the timeline, and press spacebar to view
thenew edit.
TIP Pressing the Home and End keys will move you to the start or end of the
timeline, respectively. Some Mac keyboards do not have Home and End keys.
When using one of those keyboards, press Fn-left arrow to move to the start of
the timeline and Fn-right arrow to move to the end.
Splitting a clip with an insert
Not every insert you perform must be placed between two existing clips in the timeline.
Insome instances, you may want a new clip to split an existing clip in two. Let’s learn how
to deal with that situation.
1 Position the timeline playhead at the start of the second interview, if necessary.
2 Press spacebar to watch and listen to this clip.
This long interview clip would be better if you split it up into two smaller clips. Also, that
last line, “It was really important, every shot was original and that everything was real,”
would be a lot more impactful if it stood alone at the end of this trailer.
