In-Depth Information
5 Repeat the procedure of dragging
the shot from the Viewer to the
Canvas, however, this time,
release it over the Overwrite
button. It should be apparent
that a different effect has taken
place. The shots in the Sequence
are not pushed further along the Timeline - they all stay in exactly the same
position. What has happened is that the shot you have just edited into the
Sequence has written over a portion of the Timeline. The length is determined
by the 'in' and 'out' points in the Viewer.
If you look at the top left of the Viewer you can see the duration of the shot
you are working with. This is measured in seconds and frames. If you change
the position of either the 'in' or 'out' points Final
Cut Pro will calculate the new duration.
Note: it is not necessary to drag the video from the Viewer to the Canvas to
perform an Insert or Overwrite Edit. If you prefer, mark the 'in' and 'out'
points in the Viewer and press either the yellow or red buttons at the bottom
of the Canvas. Providing you remember that yellow is for
Insert and red is for Overwrite then these functions can be
accessed in this way.
Three Point Editing
So far we have only marked 'in' and 'out' points in the Viewer with the
positioning of the Scrubber Bar determining where the Insert or Overwrite Edit
will be edited in the Timeline. It is also possible to enter the 'in' and 'out'
points directly into the Timeline. Simply position the Scrubber Bar where you
want to mark the 'in' point and press 'i' and similarly press 'o' where you want
to mark the 'out' point.
By marking a single 'in' point in the Viewer you can then perform an Insert or
Overwrite Edit. The positioning and duration of the edit is determined by the
'in' and 'out' points marked in the Timeline.
