Making a First Edit
This topic describes a method for adding a first clip to a sequence. You can use this method after
you create a new sequence, as described in “Creating a New Sequence” on page 576. 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.
To begin editing:
1. Load the first clip into a monitor.
For more information, see “Loading and Clearing Footage” on page 503.
2. (Option) If you have not already marked In and Out points for the clip in advance or created
a subclip, view and mark the clip.
For more information, see “Marking and Subcataloging Footage” on page 518.
3. Click buttons in the Track Selector panel to select the tracks you want to include in the edit.
Only the tracks that you capture for the clip appear as source tracks in the Timeline. For
more information on using the Track Selector panel, see “Understanding the Track Selector
Panel” on page 707.
Source tracks in the Track Selector panel
For example, with a talking head you might select tracks V1 (picture) and A2 (sound) if the
voice was recorded on that track. You would deselect track A1, that might have unwanted
wild sound picked up from a second microphone or no sound at all.
