Chapter 1 ✦ Premiere Quickstart

drag the Scrub tool, or click and drag in the tread area. To forward or back-

ward move frame-by-frame, click either of the two arrow buttons to the left of

the Stop button.

6. Now click and drag in the tread area or drag the Scrub tool to the right to

move toward the end of the clip. At about 6 seconds and 2 frames, the scene

switches to a long shot of the waitress handing out menus.

7. Either by clicking and dragging or by entering the precise location using

your keyboard, position the clip at 00;00;06;24.

8. Click the Mark Out button (see Figure 1-10).

To clear an in or out point, press Option/Alt, while clicking the in or out point.

9. To edit the clip, click the Apply button. The Apply button appears in the Clip

window after you click the in point button. After you click, you’ll see the

length of the clip change in the Timeline window.

Although you edited the clip in the Timeline, the original clip in the Project win-

dow remains the same. At any point in time, you can re-edit the clip to return the

missing parts.

Creating a transition

Now view your production by previewing it in the Monitor window. To start the pre-

view from the beginning of the Timeline, click the Play In to Out button in the

Monitor window. As you watch the preview, notice that the cut from the Walkers

clip to the Diners clip is quite abrupt. To smooth the flow of the production, you

can add a transition between the two tracks.

For more information on using transitions, turn to Chapter 7.

Here’s how to add a Cross Dissolve transition to your project:

1. Open the Transitions options by choosing Window ➪ Show Transitions

palette, if it is not already open.

2. In the Transitions palette, open the Dissolve folder by double-clicking it.

3. Preview the Cross Dissolve effect by double-clicking it. The Cross Dissolve

Settings dialog box appears (see Figure 1-11). An animated preview is shown

in the lower-right corner. You can also create your own preview by clicking

and dragging the slider beneath the Start area. Click Cancel to close the

dialog box.
