Basic Editing
Creating a Sequence
As described in Chapter 1, a sequence is created automatically when you
make your first edit. You can also create a sequence and save it prior to
making edits.
To create a sequence using the New Sequence
command, do one of the following:

Select Clip > New Sequence.

Press Shift+Ctrl+N (Windows) or Shift+Command+N (Macintosh).

Right-click inside an open bin, or inside the gray area of the Timeline
window, and select New Sequence.
If you have more than one bin open, Media Composer asks you to choose
a bin for the new sequence. After selecting a target bin, the new sequence
appears with the generic title Untitled Sequence n. Each new sequence is
numbered incrementally until you rename it.
Rename the new sequence by typing a new name while the Name field is
active in the bin. (Remember to give your sequence a unique name.)
Adding Shots
Yo u c an a dd sh ots to yo ur s eq ue n ce i n s eve ra l w ays . I n t he p re vio us ch ap -
ter, you briefly learned to splice. Now, you’ll take a more detailed look at
both splice and overwrite edits.
Splicing
After you’ve marked the IN and OUT points for a clip in the Source moni-
tor, you can splice the shot into the sequence at any point you specify,
without replacing material already in the sequence. If you splice the shot at
any location other than the end of the sequence, all shots in the sequence
after the edit point ripple down to allow the new shot to be inserted,
thereby lengthening the sequence.
