Making a First Edit
This topic describes a basic method for adding a first clip to a sequence. You can use this
method after creating a new sequence, as described in “Creating a New Sequence” on page
273. You can also use this method without creating a new sequence in advance, in which
case the sequence is created as soon as you make the edit.
