Part II

Rough Editing

To avoid accidentally selecting the first frame of the next clip, do one of
the following:

m

Press the Back Arrow key once before setting the Out point, so that you set it on the
last frame of the clip you want to select. When you do this, the last frame of that clip is
included with the Out point.

m

Make the Canvas active, then choose View > Show Overlays. Make sure you set an
Out point when you see the overlay that indicates the end of the clip, not the start
of the next clip.

m

Use the Mark > Mark Clip feature (described in “

Setting In and Out Points to Match a

Clip or Gap

” on page 112) to place In and Out points directly on the first and last frames

of the clip.

The Out point ends at

the last frame of the clip.
