N
ext, position the playback marker at the end of the section and click the "Set
out point" button.
The currently selected range appears highlighted in blue in the range display.
You can playback this range separately with the "Playback range" button.
All range limits can be moved by holding down the mouse button and
dragging. Once the range matches the section that you want to import, click
on the preview monitor and drag the section onto the track. An object will
appear featuring the material you wanted to import. If you're not sure where
you would like to use the section in the project, you can drag it into the project
folder instead of onto the track.
Tip: You can also edit files that are located in the project folder in the same
way. A shortened file also contains information in the project folder about in
and out points so that you don't always need to reset these in case the video
needs to be re-imported at a later time. You can also drag each file directly
from the Media Pool into the project folder.
Regroup scenes
You will often want to move specific scenes or even groups of scenes to a
different place within a film. This happens completely intuitively: Single scenes
can be selected in any view by clicking them and moving them to the desired
position (drag & drop). You can also create scene groups which can be moved
together: "Ctrl" + mouse click lets you select more than one scene, "Shift" +
mouse click lets you select all of the scenes that lie in between.
Finally, here are three tips for more extensive arranger work:
With the mouse modes "All tracks" or for "One track" (view page 40) doesn't
just move
the selected scene, but all objects that are located behind the
object (one track) or all tracks (all tracks).
