134 Chapter 7 Timeline Playback, Navigation, and Editing
However, if you’re working on a project where these issues aren’t important, you can
use the following tools and commands to edit shots in unlocked tracks in the Timeline.
∏
Tip: If you need to make an editorial change, you can always reedit the original
sequence in Final Cut Pro, export a new XML file, and use the Reconform command to
update the Color Timeline to match the changes you made.
Select Tool
The select tool is the default state of the pointer in Color. As the name implies, this tool
lets you select shots in the Timeline, move them to another position in the edit, or
delete them.
It’s a good idea to reselect the Select tool immediately after making edits with any of
the other tools, to make sure you don’t inadvertently continue making alterations in
the Timeline that you don’t intend.
To reposition a shot in the Timeline:
m Drag the shot to another position in the Timeline.
When you move a shot in the Timeline, where it ends up depends on the In point’s
relation to shots that are already there. Shots you move in Color never overwrite other
shots. Instead, the other shots in the Timeline are moved out of the way to make way
for the incoming shot, and the program is rippled as a result.
 If the In point of the moved shot overlaps the first half of another shot, the shot
you’re moving will be insert edited at that shot’s In point, and all other shots in the
Timeline will be rippled to the right to make room.
 If the In point of the moved shot overlaps the second half of another shot, the shot
you’re moving will be insert edited after that shot’s Out point, and all other shots in
the Timeline will be rippled to the right to make room.
 If you’re moving a shot into an area of the Timeline where it doesn’t overlap with any
other shot, it’s simply moved to that area of the Timeline without rippling any other
shots.
To delete a shot in the Timeline:
1 Select one or more shots in the Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
 Press Delete.
 Press Forward Delete.
This performs a lift edit, leaving a gap in the Timeline where that shot used to be. No
other shots move as a result of deleting a shot.
