Lesson 4
Assembling
a Rough Cut
With your content imported and organized,
you are ready to start editing in the Edit
page. The first pass at developing a
timeline is called the
rough cut
. The goal is
to place clips in the rough order you’ll want
them in your final program. It is the
equivalent of sketching a picture rather than
precisely drawing one. In this lesson, you’ll
use the edit page and look at the various
ways to begin a rough cut. Unlike the cut
page, where a fast turn around is the single
most important requirement, the edit page
is designed for more craft style editing. It is
designed for longer form projects and to
that end it provides more options in the
number of ways you can set up and edit
a project.
Time
This lesson takes approximately
