Exercise 4.3.1 Performing Insert Edits
When you dragged MVI_1044 to its new location, you performed an insert edit. Clips to the right of the new clip slid right to make room, while clips to the left retained their positions. Previously, you marked another sound bite as a select that needs to be added to the project. In this exercise, you will insert this clip into the project, but without dragging it.
In the Browser, switch to filmstrip view, and then perform a search for “awe” in the Interview Keyword Collection.
The search identifies one clip, MVI_1043. The filmstrip displays two favorite ranges within the clip.
In the Browser, select (by clicking the second green stripe) then skim the second favorite of MVI_1043.
Depending on your display’s resolution, you may have difficulty skimming the clip at a speed that makes the audio intelligible. Expanding the filmstrip by zooming in will help you skim the clip.
In the Clip Appearance pop-up, drag the Zoom slider to the right until the zoom scale reads 5s.
Skim the second favorite in MVI_1043 again.
At this scale setting, each thumbnail in the filmstrip represents five seconds of source media. This time you can identify the sound bites by listening to the pitch-corrected audio. Notice the torn edge on the left end of the row. That indicates the clip continues from the previous line of thumbnails. The start and end of the clip are represented by a solid edge on the filmstrip.
In the clip’s filmstrip, ensure that the second favorite range is selected.
Next, you need to choose where this clip belongs in the storyline by cueing the playhead to the desired location.
In the Timeline, skim between MVI_1043 and MVI_1044.
MVI_1043 must be edited between those two clips with frame accuracy. To help you precisely place the playhead on the edit point between the two clips, you can turn on snapping.
At the upper-right of the Timeline locate the Skimming, Audio Skimming, Audio Soloing, and Snapping buttons.
If necessary, click the Snapping button to turn on snapping, or press N.
Skim over several clips and edit points within the project.
Notice that the skimmer jumps to the edit points. To prepare for the insert edit, you need to cue the playhead to the desired edit point.
Snap the skimmer to the edit point between MVI_1043 and MVI_1044, then click to cue the playhead here.
The “L” bracket indicates this frame is the start point.
In the Browser, verify that the MVI_1043’s second range is still selected.
In the Timeline toolbar, click the Insert edit button, or press W.
The second select of MVI_1043 is placed into the project between the two storyline clips, and a missing sound bite becomes part of the storyline.
