Subtitles of the Movie

After you have set all your in and out points in your clips they are now ready to be worked into timeline. There's a variety of methods for adding your clips to timelines but perhaps the most straight forward method is to simply drag them from the project window to any open timeline, like so. Once on a timeline clips can be moved, trimmed, cut, copied, pasted, and edited in many ways to numerous to demonstrate here but which I cover in detail in my full Premiere Pro courses. Notice that the video clips must be placed on a video track and the audio clips are placed on an audio track. But they can be moved to different video tracks, this audio track cannot be moved into audio track one because its stereo and audio track one there is mono. So that's the only limitation here in terms of moving them to different tracks. Notice how easy it is to rearrange the order of the clips, you can even overlap the clips to shorten them as well as change their edit points and trim them here. In terms of the in points and out points just grab the edge of the clip and drag it to the left or right to extend it or contract the duration of the clip. In addition to working with individual clips you can also work with clip sequences, these are assemblages of clips that are also organized in the project window. I have here another clip sequence called the saline sample to open up these sequences simply double click on them here in the project window and then they appear in their own sequence here. When opened these clip sequences appear as a tab in the timeline windows as well as up here in the program monitor window. You can create as many sequences as desired, each with as many tracks as needed. For example here in this timeline sequence 07 I have three video tracks and three audio tracks plus a master audio track. My saline sample here only really has content in one video track and one audio track although I have an additional video track and audio track master down below. To create a new sequence choose from the main menu file, new, sequence, choose your options, let's give this a sequence name, let's call it sequence 3 and let's create a sequence with 2 video tracks, a master mono stereo track. And then an additional let's go ahead and I can either click that slider and slide the number that I want which is kind of finicky, I very easily moved it up to six mono audio tracks and I didn't want to. So another way to do this is to click on it once and then just type in the number of tracks that you want. So I've got two video tracks and two mono audio tracks in my new sequence and there it is, notice that its blank, now I can proceed to drag and drop clips one at a time or I can select multiple clips including sequences and drag those onto the new sequence. Now dropping a sequence onto another sequence allows me to rearrange that sequence as well, this is sequence 7, sequences that are added to another sequences are referred to as nested sequences in the Premiere Pro documentation. These are essentially sequences that contain other sequences, notice if I double click on the sequence 7 it brings it up here in the timeline. Now any changes that I make to sequence 7 by adding for example additional clips, those changes will be reflected in the sequences where those sequences are nested. So example in sequence 3 I have a nested sequence because I have sequence 7 in there and I added some clips to that sequence and those additions will be included here in my sequence 3. This nesting makes obsolete the virtual clip feature found in older versions of Premiere you'll create these nested sequences in the same way that you add clips to a timeline, simply drag and drop a sequence from the project window into the timeline. Notice again as I create new sequences they are visible here in the project view or the project panel. Now no matter how many clips and tracks the sequence contains it always appears notice as a single linked clip when you nest it in another sequence. Now it has a bunch of clips within it but it's only represented as a single clip here in my timeline. Once it's nested you can edit these sequences just as you would any regular clip, this includes moving, trimming, audio and all the rest. So for example I can take this sequence and cut the end off like so and shorten it. I can also take my selection arrow tool and extend that clip back out again by dragging the outer edge or the start of the clip I can trim that as well. One difference with these sequences is that any changes you make to a nested sequence this content will be instantly reflected in the sequences in which its nested so for example if I go into my saline sample sequence and I make changes here as I mentioned previously any changes that I make here will be reflected in any sequences in which this is nested, such as sequence 3. Notice that there is sequence 7 and those new changes will be included when this is played back within this sequence. So to summarize with nested sequences change the source clips and all the sequences that contain that source will change as well. Let me now move on and review some techniques for editing the clips once you have them assembled here in your timelines.
