them directly to the Timeline.
Many of these elements are available from the Generator pop-up menu. For more
information, see

If necessary, render any unrendered effects by doing one of the following:
• Choose Sequence > Render All > Both.
• Choose Sequence > Render Selection > Both.
• Press Command-R.
For more information on additional rendering options, see
All audio that requires rendering is automatically rendered with a render quality of High,
regardless of the render quality setting. Unrendered audio sections are output as a series
of beeps.
Tip: You can turn off the beeps by deselecting “Beep when playing back unrendered
audio” in the Playback Control tab of the System Settings window.

In the Timeline, move the playhead to where you want to start recording in your sequence.
Move the playhead
where you want to
start recording.
The first frame will be recorded immediately after you press Record on your camcorder
or deck. To avoid an awkward freeze frame at the beginning of your sequence, you may
want to move the playhead to an initial frame of black.

If you want to loop your sequence, choose View > Loop Playback so there’s a checkmark
next to it.
