Setting Sequence In and Out Points
You can set sequence In and Out points in the Canvas or Timeline. The In and Out points
in the Canvas are the same as the ones in the Timeline—they refer to the same timecode
values and affect the same part of your sequence. If you set In and Out points in the
Timeline, they also appear in the Canvas, and vice versa.
To set In and Out points in the Canvas or Timeline
1 Make the Canvas or the Timeline active by doing one of the following:
• Click in the appropriate window.
• Press Command-2 to make the Canvas active.
• Press Command-3 to make the Timeline active.
• Press Q to switch between the Viewer and the Canvas.
2 Move the playhead to the point in your sequence where you want to place the In or Out
point.
3 Do one of the following:
• Choose Mark > Mark In or Mark > Mark out (or press I to set an In point or press O to
set an Out point).
• Control-click in the scrubber bar of the Canvas (or the ruler of the Timeline), then choose
Mark In or Mark Out from the shortcut menu.
• Click the Mark In or Mark Out button.
