Example: Make a three-point edit with multiple clips
You can make three-point edits with multiple clips at a time.
1
In the Event Browser, select two or more clips. (Don’t select a range within a single clip.)
For information about selecting multiple clips, see
on page 91.
Three clips are selected
to be placed in the storyline.
No range selection is set.
2
In the Timeline, define a destination start point by positioning the skimmer at the location in
your project where you want the clip or group of clips to start.
Position the skimmer at the
location where you want the
group of clips to begin.
3
To add the selected clips to the project using an overwrite edit, press D.
The new group of clips
begins where the skimmer
was positioned.
The playhead moves to the
end of the new clips.
The entire group of clips selected in the Event Browser has been edited into the project.
Note: The clips are added in the order in which you selected them.
Because you used an overwrite edit, any clip items already in the project are overwritten by the
clips selected in the Event Browser for the duration of the Event Browser clips.
