Create a subclip from a Timeline panel

You can create subclips from a Timeline panel.

Do one of the following:

• Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) a clip instance from a sequence into an open bin in a Project

panel. Type a name for the subclip, and click OK.

• Right-click a clip instance in a sequence, and select Make Subclip. Type a name for the subclip, and click OK.

Adjust media start and end times of a subclip

1 Select the subclip in the Project panel.

2 Choose Clip > Edit Subclip.

3 Edit the Subclip Start and End timecode fields.

Note: If you select an instance of a subclip in the Project panel, you cannot set new Start and End points that lie within the

instance Start and End points. This limit prevents losing frames that are used in the sequence.

Convert a subclip to a master clip

1 Select the subclip in the Project panel.

2 Choose Clip > Edit Subclip.

The converted clip retains the master clip start and end times that are listed in the Edit Subclip dialog box.

3 Select Convert To Master Clip, and then click OK.

Play back a clip in the Project panel

You can use the preview area at the top of a Project panel to preview individual clips.

1 Select the clip.

2 Press the Play button on the thumbnail viewer. The Play button becomes a Stop button. Press Stop to stop

playback. (Playing the clip in the thumbnail viewer does not affect Source Monitor views.)

You can also play back clips in icon view in the Project panel. To do this:

1 In the Project panel, click the Icon View button.

2 Select the clip by clicking on it.

3 To play, press L or the spacebar. (To stop, click the Stop button, or press K or the spacebar. The button and the

spacebar toggle between Play and Stop.) To play in reverse, press J.
