12 Viewing and Marking Footage
Before you begin editing, you can review your footage, add markers and comments to clips,
mark IN to OUT points, and create subclips. By viewing and marking your material in advance,
you can concentrate on editing and refining your sequence at a later time without having to pause
and set marks each time you load a new clip. Techniques for playing back, viewing, and
subcataloging clips are described in the following topics:
