Creating a New Sequence
580
The default settings are:
• Auto-create New Tracks: Whenever you edit new source material from the Source monitor,
the system automatically creates any new tracks in the sequence that match enabled tracks
on the source side.
• Auto-enable Source Tracks: Whenever you load new source material into the Source
monitor, the system automatically enables all existing source tracks.
Alternatively, you can do the following:
• Deselect Auto-create New Tracks to have the existing tracks in the sequence remain the
same when you edit in new source material. This lets you create new tracks selectively as
you edit.
• Deselect Auto-enable Source Tracks to leave the tracks of newly loaded material in whatever
state they were in when they were last loaded. This lets you turn on the source tracks more
selectively as you edit.
Adding Filler
You can add a small amount of black filler at the start of your sequence. A brief moment of black
before the start of your sequence is sometimes useful during playback or when recording a
digital cut. You can also add filler to another part of the sequence at any time during editing.
n
You cannot add filler to the end of a sequence or to an empty sequence. You can create black title
media and insert it at the end of a sequence. For information about creating title media, see
“Creating Titles” in the Help.
To add filler at the start of a sequence, do one of the following:
t Select Clip > Add Filler at Start.
t Right-click in the Timeline, and select Add Filler at Start.
Filler appears at the beginning of the sequence in the Timeline. You can set a default
duration for the filler in the Edit tab of the Timeline Settings dialog box. For more
information, see “Timeline Settings: Edit Tab” on page 1437.
To add filler anywhere in a sequence:
1. Click above the Source monitor, and select Load Filler from the Clip Name menu.
The system loads a 2-minute clip of filler into the Source monitor.
