Playing and Marking Clips
KEYBOAR D G EOG RAPHY: NAVIGATI NG
AN D MAR KI NG CLI PS
On a QWERTY keyboard, the J, K, and L keys are placed directly below
the I (Mark IN) and O (Mark OUT) keys. This placement allows you to
use three fingers to navigate with J-K-L and then extend your middle
two fingers to the I and O keys to mark footage. In this way, you can
play and mark footage within a very focused area of the keyboard. And
since playing and marking footage is such a large part of the editing
process, you get a lot of power using just three fingers.
NOTE When IN and
OUT points are placed
using the keyboard, the
clip continues to play,
whereas clicking in the
interface will stop play-
back. This adds to the
efficiency of the process.
To play the clip from the I N to the OU T poin t, p ress 6 or the Play I N to
OUT key.

of working in nonlinear editing is that you can loosely mark IN and OUT
points and later refine them throughout the editing process.)
To reposition an I N or OUT point, do one of the following:

Place the position indicator where you want the mark to be, and then
click the Mark IN or Mark OUT button. (You don’t need to clear the
previous mark first.)

In the Source or Record monitor, press and hold the Alt key (Windows)
or Option key (Macintosh) and hover the mouse pointer over the Mark
IN or OUT icon. When the pointer becomes a hand, drag the mark to
the right or left. Release the mouse button, and then release the key.
