Creating a New Master
A master is a sequence of clips. To create a new master:
1. Click on the New Master button on the current bin toolbar. The New Master
dialog box appears. (You can also drag clips to the empty edit timeline from
the current bin.)
2. Enter the name of the new master in the New Master text box, or simply
accept the default. The default name is always unique.
3. Click on the OK button. The name of the new, empty master appears above
the edit timeline.
Adding Media to a Master
A newly created master is empty. You can assemble a master by inserting clips
or even other masters into it:
1. Click in the edit timeline to make it active.
1. Select a clip or master in the current bin.
2. Choose Insert from the Media menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-
click. You can also click the Insert Media button on the current bin toolbar.
3. The media is loaded onto the edit timeline.
You can also drag and drop a clip or master onto the edit timeline. To drag and
drop media to the edit timeline:
1. Select a master or clip in the current bin by pressing the left mouse button
while the mouse pointer is over the desired clip and hold the button down.
2. Drag the master to the edit timeline and release the mouse button.
3. Each is inserted into the new master at the closest cursor location. After
insertion, the time cursor automatically moves to the last frame of the new
material.
