Creating Timelines From Bins and Selections
The “Create Timeline Using Bin” and “Create Timeline Using Selected Clips” commands let you
quickly assemble a timelineusing the contents of the Media Pool, using whatever In and Out
points have been added to each clip, and using the sort order of the enclosing bin to determine
the order in which the clips will be assembled.
TIP: These commands are especially useful for putting together quick assembly edits if
you have metadata-rich media with scene, shot, and take information that you can use
to sort clips into the proper order, and In and Out points that you’ve already logged.
To create a timeline using the full contents of a bin:
1 (Optional) Put the Media Pool into List mode, set In and Out points for each clip in your
Bin, and sort the Media Pool by the column that will put all clips in the order you want
them to be assembled.
2 Right-click the bin in the Bin list, and choose Create Timeline Using Bin.
3 Type the name of the new timeline in the New Timeline Properties dialog. If you want
to use the In and Out points of each clip, make sure “Use Selected Mark In/Out” is
checked, and click Create New Timeline.
To create a timeline using manually selected clips:
1 (Optional) Put the Media Pool into List mode, set In and Out points for each clip in your
Bin, and sort the Media Pool by the column that will put all clips in the order you want
them to be assembled.
2 Select one or more clips you want to assemble into a new timeline.
3 Right-click one of the selected clips, and choose Create Timeline Using Selected Clips.
4 Type the name of the new timeline in the New Timeline Properties dialog. If you want
to use the In and Out points of each clip, make sure “Use Selected Mark In/Out” is
checked, and click Create New Timeline. By default, Audio Track Type is set to “Based
on selected media,” so the timeline audio tracks reflect the track mapping of the clips
you’ve selected, but you can manually choose other specific mappings if you need to.
Duplicating Timelines
You can also duplicate existing timelines in preparation for saving a copy prior to making
modifications, or as a starting point for a different version of your content.
To duplicate a Timeline, do one of the following:
 Select a timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Edit > Duplicate Timeline. The duplicate
timeline appears with “copy” appended to the name.
 Right-click a timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Duplicate Timeline from the
contextual menu.
