Use auditions to try out clips in your project
You create an audition to try out the clips within it and nd the one that works best
for your project. Although the auditioning workow may dier from project to project,
the general process is the same. You create an audition that contains a set of alternate
takes, eects, or text treatments, and then you choose the best clip for the edit by
making it the pick. When you’re sure of your decision, you nalize the audition, which
dissolves it and leaves the pick in the Timeline.
Depending on your workow, you may try out the clips within your auditions and
atten the auditions as you go, or you may leave the auditions in the Timeline for the
purpose of showing alternate edits to a client.
Note: You can use audition commands only with one selected audition at a time. For
example, you can’t nalize multiple selected auditions.
Review clips within an audition in the Timeline
1 In the Timeline, select the audition containing the clips you want to review, and open
it by choosing Clip > Audition > Open (or pressing Y).
The clip under the spotlight
in the center of the window
is the pick.
2 In the Audition window, select the pick and press the Space bar (or press Command-
Control-Y) to play it.
