1. Load the Montage - Segment Mode sequence (from the Chapter 3
folder) into the Timeline.
This is a completed dance montage set to the Russian dance music.
However, according to our “producer’s” feedback, you will need to
relocate several shots.
2. About 19 seconds into the sequence, two shots are marked with yellow
locators. (A locator is like a digital Post-it note for editors to mark shots or
leave comments. Locators are covered in detail later in this chapter.)
Our producer has marked these shots to be switched with one another
because he thought too many “Urban dancer” clips were next to one
another and that it would be better to break these up with a ballerina shot.
Switch these two shots
3. In the Smart Tool, click the Segment Mode Extract/Splice-in button.
4. Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) the “Urban
group dancer feet CU” shot, and drag it to the right, after the “Ballerina
duo 1 LS” shot.
