Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your Editing Environment 21
Working With Clips in the Viewer
To view a clip, you select it in the Browser, then open it into the Viewer by double-
clicking. The Video tab of the Viewer acts as your “source” monitor; there, you watch
your selected clip and mark the In and Out edit points, which define how much of the
clip you want to edit into your sequence.
Viewer Controls
There are many controls in the Viewer. (Some of these appear in other areas of the
interface, as well; for example, the playhead controls also appear in the Canvas.)
