Subtitles of the Movie

We looked briefly at the difference between the List View, which we have here displayed in the Project Panel and the alternative view, the Icon View, reached by clicking this button here. Now you might wonder if there's any practical purpose that differentiates the two views other than just being a visually different display of the same information about your files. Well, certainly the Icon View is more visual and, in this respect, can be more impressive I suppose if you have clients in your editing studio. I say impressive, I mean useful too, because the Icon View's larger screen footprint allows them to be seen at a distance, something that can be necessary if you have clients in the studio and they can't physically get close to your monitor. Also, something else you can do more easily in this Icon View is move the assets around in the grid. Let me just open this RAW file. I'll just open that and we get the Bin View here for the RAW folder. I'll just drag down here so we can see all the files that we've got. Now, as I say, we've got this grid structure here with all these squares and all the different movie files that I've filmed already residing in one square each and, as I say, with this view you can move any of the assets around into a different position so, for example, this first clip here, all I need to do is left-click and maybe I want to drag it to this position here. Now why would I want to do that? Well, by being able to move your files into a different order you can then combine them with the Automate to Sequence function, this one down here and we can also see it in the Project Panel, too, there. So, as I say, you can combine this with the Automate to Sequence function to automatically place a number of clips on the Timeline in a specific order other than alphabetic because at the moment the way it's set up we get an alphabetic order for all these different files but we might not want to have them on our Timeline in alphabetic order so we could move them around. Maybe I want this clip to be here and perhaps this clip, I'll drag that to there. So, as you can see, I'm reordering the structure of all these different files so now what I would need to do is highlight all of them, click on that first one there, highlight the last one and then, by clicking this button, the Automate to Sequence button, then that will automatically take all those files and place them in the order that they are here going left to right that way, then this way, then this way, but automatically put all those files onto the Timeline in that order. We'll look more at Sequence automation in a later tutorial but I just wanted to point that out as one of the significant differences between this view, the Icon View and the List View. OK, I'll just close this down for now and, incidentally, if we want to move one of these Bins stroke Folders to a different position just left-click on it and move it somewhere else. OK, go back to the List View and we'll see that our files are now still in alphabetical order. I'll just open up the RAW folder and we can see our files are in alphabetical order - Appleton Farms 01 first, Appleton Farms 02, et cetera, first and then alphabetically after A we would come to M. Now, these files, because I brought them in from a memory card rather than capturing them, then these files take on the format that that particular camera I filmed those clips in takes on the format of that camera, a Canon G11. OK, I'll just close that down. So, as I say, the Icon View is more visual and a practical reason for having the Icon View is we can move things around into a different stroke just so that we can visually see where we want the clips to be placed when we automate that sequence to the Timeline. OK, that should do us for this tutorial. I'll see you in the next one.
