Editing sequences and clips
Last updated 11/6/2011
Using one of the following keyboard modifiers, drag a clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor onto a clip in a
Timeline panel:
• To use the In point of the new clip, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS). You may use the In point of the
new clip, for example, if you have already trimmed it to start at the desired point of the action.
• To apply the In point of the original clip to the new clip, Shift-Alt-drag (Windows) or Shift-Option-drag (Mac OS).
You may apply the In point of the original clip to the new clip, for example, if the new clip was shot synchronously
with the original clip using another camera. In this case, applying the In point from the original clip will start the
new clip from the same point in the action.
In a Timeline, clip position and effects are preserved, and any effects that were applied to the original clip are applied
to the replacement clip.
You can also replace a clip in a Timeline by selecting it, selecting a replacement clip in a bin or the Source Monitor,
and then selecting Clip > Replace With Clip > [replacement type].
Replace the source footage for a clip
You can replace the source footage for any clip in the Project panel. Replacing the source footage for a clip links it to
a new source file. All instances of the clip and its subclips are retained in the Project panel and Timeline, with their In
and Out points, and any applied effects, intact. However, the clip becomes linked to the replacement footage instead
of its original footage. You can easily replace, for example, placeholder footage with final footage, or footage with a
soundtrack in one language with identical footage with a different-language soundtrack, and keep all the same edits
that were made with the original footage.
1 In the Project panel, select the clip for which you want new source footage.
2 Select Clip > Replace Footage.
3 In the Replace Footage For dialog box, browse to the file containing the replacement footage.
4 To rename the clip with the replacement footage filename, check Rename Clip To Filename.
5 Click Select.
Note: You cannot use the Edit > Undo command to undo a footage replacement. However, you can use the Clip > Replace
Footage command again to relink a clip to its original source file.
Set or remove sequence In and Out points
You can use In and Out points in a sequence to help you place and rearrange clips.
Note: Sequence In and Out points are automatically removed when you perform a lift or extract edit from the Program
Monitor.
Set sequence In and Out points
1 Navigate to the In point in a Timeline panel and click the Set In Point button in the Program Monitor.
2 Navigate to the Out point in a Timeline panel and click the Set Out Point button .
You can move the In and Out points together without affecting the duration by dragging the In/Out Grip (textured
area at the center of the shaded span between the In and Out points) in the Program Monitor or Timeline panel.
Set sequence In and Out points around a selection
1 In a Timeline panel, select one or more clips, or a gap, in the sequence.
