Setting In and Out Points
Now that you’ve used playback commands to review your clips, you can place In and Out points
to set the range of each clip that you want to edit into the Timeline. If you don’t set In or Out
points, then the entire clip will be edited into the Timeline. If you do set In and Out points, those
points will be saved in the Media Pool and used the next time you edit that clip.
Setting Clip In and Out Points in the Media Pool
You can set In and Out points right in the Media Pool to prepare for editing.
To set In and Out points while skimming a thumbnail in the Media Pool’s Thumbnail view:
Set the Media Pool to Thumbnail view, then move the pointer over a clip and wait a
moment until dragging the pointer begins to skim through that clip. As you skim, press I
and O to set In and Out points to encompass the part of that clip you’re going to want to
use. When you’re finished, that clip’s thumbnail will show a range indicator at the
bottom to show how much of the clip you’ve selected.
