Adding a Clip to Your Sequence
Now that you know how to set In and Out points, you’re ready to add a clip to your
sequence. If you’ve already set In and Out points, jump to step 3; otherwise, start at step 1.
To add a clip to your sequence:
1 Double-click a clip in the Browser to open it into the Viewer.
This is your source clip.
2 Specify In and Out points for your source clip in the Viewer. See “ Setting In and Out
Points ” on page 51.
3 In the Timeline, move the playhead to the beginning of your sequence where you want
the clip to start (the sequence In point) by pressing Home on your keyboard or
dragging the playhead to the beginning of the Timeline.
4 Drag the clip from the preview area of the Viewer to the Timeline.
The clip appears in the Timeline, and the playhead moves to the end of the clip.
It’s easy to add additional clips to your sequence.
