Backtiming a Source Clip When Editing Into the Timeline
In this last example, you’ve got a specific moment in the second half of a source clip that you
need to align with an Out point in the Timeline, such that the remaining duration of the incoming
clip overwrites the edited sequence of clips from the right to the left. This is referred to as
backtiming, when you’re lining up a Source Out point with a Timeline Out point in order to make
an edit, and can be set up one of two ways.
Backtiming method one:
1 Set In and Out points in the source clip, either in the Media Pool or in the SourceViewer.
2 Set an Out point in the Timeline, at the frame where you want the corresponding Out
point of the incoming source clip to be aligned.
Setting up a backtimed match-on-action edit via In and Out points
in the Source Viewer, and only an Out point in the Timeline
3 To make the edit, click the Overwrite Clip button in the toolbar, press the F10 key, or
drag a clip onto the overwrite overlay in the Timeline Viewer.
The resulting edit, aligning the Out point of the source clip with the Out point of the Timeline
Backtiming method two:
1 Set an Out point in the source clip, either in the Media Pool or in the Source Viewer.
2 Set In and Out points in the Timeline to set both where you want the incoming clip to
go, and how much of the incoming clip you want to use.
Setting up a backtimed edit by setting an Out point in the Source Viewer,
and In and Out points in the Timeline to define the duration of the edit
