522
The Create Subclip icon changes to an icon of a hand pointing at a frame during the
drag, and then becomes a Subclip icon when you release the frame in the intended bin.
t Click the Make Subclip button in the Edit tab of the Command palette.
Your Avid editing application creates the subclip and places it in the active bin.
t Press the Alt key (Windows) or the Option key (Macintosh) while you click the Make
Subclip button.
Your Avid editing application creates the subclip and opens a dialog box that lets you
select the destination bin for the subclip.
Creating Subsequences
You can use IN and OUT marks to create a new, shorter sequence from an existing sequence.
This subsequence becomes an independent sequence and you can edit it in the same way you edit
any other sequence.
To create a subsequence:
t Click the Create Subsequence icon located above and to the side of the Record monitor, and
drag it to the bin in which you want to store the subsequence.
The new subsequence appears in the bin, with a numbered .Sub file name extension.
Subclips and Audio Sync for 24p and 25p Projects
Your Avid editing application allows for the ¼-frame resyncing of audio in the event of telecine
errors or for the purpose of adjusting audio sync for intended online mixing, but this subframe
syncing can be done only to subclips. Avid recommends that you create subclips after you
capture your footage and audio but before you begin editing in order to check or adjust audio
sync. It is easier to adjust the subclip’s audio sync before you work the subclip into an edit. For
more information about adjusting audio sync, see “Resyncing Subframe Audio” on page 619.
Marking Audio Clips
You can mark audio and video separately for an edit by using the Audio Mark buttons. This
feature is useful for creating an overlap edit for an audio clip.
You can map the Audio Mark buttons from the Edit tab of the Command palette. For information
on mapping buttons, see “Understanding Button Mapping” on page 110.
To mark IN and OUT points on audio tracks:
1. Load a clip or sequence into a monitor.
2. In the Track Selector panel in the Timeline, select the tracks corresponding to the cuts you
want to mark.
