Timeline Editing
Practice Your Skills
1. Load the “Transformation Scene Rough Cut Part 1” sequence (from
the Chapter 3 folder) into the Timeline.
If you completed the entire exercise in Chapter 2 (creating the rough
cut with interview segments and B-roll), this sequence should be quite
similar to yours, with just a few additional tweaks.
2. Yo u w ill ne ed to a dd mu si c to thi s s equ en ce, an d t o d o s o, y ou ’l l hav e
to add some audio tracks.
Add two audio tracks by clicking in the Timeline and pressing Ctrl+U
(Windows) or Command+U (Macintosh) twice.
3. Add some space within this sequence so that the interview segments
are not running into each other. To prepare to move segments in the
Timeline, select the Lift/Overwrite button in the Timeline panel. (Make
sure the Extract/Splice-in button in Segment mode is deselected.)
4. Yo u s hou ld pl ac e abo ut th re e sec on ds b et wee n t he “To ny in ter vi ew 1 ”
and “Dr. Shannon interview 1” clips. (You will eventually add B-roll and
music to fill the gap.)
To measu re t his, snap to t he head of the Dr. Shanno n seg ment by
clicking near the transition while holding Ctrl (Windows) or Command
(Macintosh).
5. Press the 2 key (to step forward 10 frames at a time) nine times.
Because each second of playtime includes 30 frames, this will advance
you 3 seconds or 90 frames.
6. Mark an IN point at this location.
7. Park the position indicator within the “Dr. Shannon interview 1” seg-
ment, and in the Timeline window’s toolbar, click the Select Right but-
ton
. The “Dr. Shannon interview 1” segment and all segments to
the right of it should now be selected.
8. Yo ur m ou se p oin te r s ho u ld n ow be a re d a rro w i co n. C lick th e “ Dr.
Shannon interview 1” segment, and while holding Ctrl (Windows) or
Command (Macintosh), drag that segment to the right. It should snap
to the IN point you just set.
