Subtitles of the Movie

Now how did I build this sequence that we've got started here even though again it's not a sequence that even makes any kind of narrative sense, it's just three shots that are pasted together. But how did I do it? Well to do that I have to first mark a clip and I do that by using the viewer, I pull up a shot in the viewer using the technique we looked at earlier and then I can mark my in and out point using some of these controls here which I will do right here. So I'll make this viewer alittle bit bigger as I decide on what I want to insert into my sequence and I'll be able to do that as you'll see in modules coming up, by either using the canvas or the timeline itself. But here again our focus is really on just the viewer and I can move through the clip using any of the techniques that we've already discussed. We can use the play head slider, etc, so let's say we're going to use that and that's going to be my in point, I decided this, we're going to cut to a reaction shot or something like that, so I want this to be my in point. I will mark it as an in point and I can do that by using these items down here in the lower left hand corner of the viewer window. You can mark an in point, you can mark an out point, so these little arrows that have the line next to them are how I mark in and out. Now that I've shown you these, the only reason I did is to get you comfortable with those keyboard shortcuts there. The I and the O are going to become your friends, because again we can mark in and out points using the mark menu up here, but again why bother. I there is my in point. Now I'll play through the clip, here I'll hit the L key on the keyboard here and I will decide that uh that is a good place for an outpoint and so again I'm not going to go back to the mouse, I'm not going to go up to the menu here, I'm going to keep my hands at the keyboard and lightening quick, once you get comfortable with it, you'll be able to set an in and out point almost as fast as you can think. So there we go that's how I have marked a clip and now I've got a segment of raw footage that's ready to be assembled into my finished sequence. And one other thing that's worth adding as we're talking about marking a clip is that you still have all the keyboard shortcuts. If you want to for example go to your out point and maybe you want to adjust this a little bit or to your in point, you can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard. You could use the apostrophe and the semicolon and then you would go through out your entire clip length here. So there's the very beginning with the sprockets, there's my first edit, there's the out and there's the very end point of that edit. That again is not me it's another person that is me in case your wondering which of course you are. You're also probably thinking I hope to god he's in costume and in fact that is the case. So the other one I want to show you that sometimes is helpful is this little button right here which is play into out, which you can do with the shift and the forward slash. But if you want to preview what your clip is going to look like if you got the right timing that sort of thing you can give it a preview by doing that right there and again it will play in to out as it just did. So now you're ready to add this to a sequence.
