Assembling Clips in a
Sequence
Once you have used Media Station|PT to capture
or import a clip, you can add it (or selected por-
tions of it) into a new or existing sequence.
Adding Clips to a New Sequence
You can add an entire clip (or a selected portion
of it) to a new sequence.
To add clips to a new sequence:
1 Choose Clip > New Sequence to create a new
sequence.
2 In the bin, name the sequence and drag it to
the Record Monitor.
3 Drag the original clip to the Source Monitor.
4 Use the controls underneath the Source Mon-
itor to locate the first frame of the portion of the
clip that you want to edit into the sequence:
• To begin playing the clip, click Play (or
press the Spacebar). (Click Play or press the
Spacebar again to Pause.)
• To move to the beginning of the clip, click
Rewind (or press the Home key).
• To move to the end of the clip, click Fast-
Forward (or press the End key).
• To nudge by frame, click Step Forward 1
Frame or Step Backward 1 Frame (or press
the Left/Right Arrow keys).
• To scrub, click and drag the cursor beneath
the Source Monitor. (Enable the Caps Lock
to hear audio while scrubbing.)
5 Click Mark In to mark the In point (the first
frame of the selected portion) at the current po-
sition of the cursor.
6 Using the same controls, locate the last frame
of the portion of the clip that you want to edit
into the sequence.
7 Click Mark Out to mark the Out point (the last
frame of the selected portion) at the current po-
sition of the cursor.
