Setting Up Your Edit in the Timeline Tool

Before you record clips in the Timeline, there are several features you can use:

• Mark In and Out points on the Timeline

• Set up a split edit

• Route the audio output

Marking In and Out Points

You can set the Mark Points using the Mark In and Mark Out buttons in either
the Timeline Tool or the Source Tool. The steps to create a mark point are the
same regardless of which tool you are using, but you will be setting different
mark points in the two tools. In the Timeline Tool, you are setting mark points
for your sequence; in the Source Tool, you are setting mark points for the input
source.

When you make the first edit in a sequence, you can mark In and Out points if
you want to. If you don’t set a Mark In point, recording starts at the current
position of the cursor. If you don’t set a Mark Out, NewsEdit LT creates an Out
when you stop recording and the clip is edited into the Timeline. The Timeline
automatically moves the cursor to the end of each edit in preparation for the
next edit.
