Example: Assembling Clips Into the
Timeline From the Media Pool
If you want, you can also edit clips directly into the Timeline from the Media Pool using a variety
of commands. This can be a fast way of appending clips to the end of the Timeline (although
you can also perform insert edits this way).
To edit one or more clips from the Media Pool to the Timeline:
1 Press Command-2 or click with the pointer to choose a clip in the Media Pool.
2 Set In and Out points for one or more clips in the Media Pool by doing one of
thefollowing:
–
In Thumbnail view, drag the pointer over a clip’s thumbnail and use the I and O keys.
If Live Media Preview is enabled in the Source Viewer, dragging over a clip’s
thumbnail mirrors the content in the Source Viewer.
–
In List view, drag over the Media Pool Filmstrip Viewer and use the I and O keys.
If Live Media Preview is enabled in the Source Viewer, dragging over the filmstrip
mirrors the content in the Source Viewer.
3 Change the sort order of the Media Pool’s browser area to put the clips into the order
in which you want them to appear. In Thumbnail view you can use the Sort Order
menu, but in List view you can click the header of any metadata column to sort by that
column’s data.
4 Click, drag, use the Command-Option and Command-Shift Up and Down Arrow Key
shortcuts, or use the Option-1–8 and Command-Option-1–8 key shortcuts to assign the
video and audio destination controls to the tracks you want to edit the video and audio
of the incoming clip(s) to. Click any destination control itself to disable it if you want to
edit clips into the Timeline as audio or video only.
5 Select one or more clips you want to edit. Insert, overwrite, place on top, ripple
overwrite, and append at end edits are all capable of editing multiple clips at once,
while replace and fit to fill edits can only edit one clip at a time, and will only edit the
first of multiple selected clips into the Timeline.
6 To perform the edit, do one of the following:
–
Use any of the editing commands in the Edit menu.
–
Use the equivalent keyboard shortcuts to Insert (F9), Overwrite (F10), Replace (F11),
Place On Top (F12), Ripple Overwrite (Shift-F10), Fit to Fill (Shift-F11), or Append To
End of Timeline (Shift-F12) the selected clips into the Timeline.
–
Right-click one or more selected clips in the Media Pool, and choose “Insert
Selected Clips to Timeline” or “Append Selected Clips to Timeline.”
The selected clip(s) are edited into the Timeline.
