Story clips

 
 
 

Scenes are assembled in the Story window with clips. Nothing happens in the Story window until you create at least a clip or two.

In the Story window, a clip is an individual instance of a camera shot, a command, a constraint, animation, audio, or video. There are eight types of clips:

Clips display on tracks, along which they can be manipulated. The steps you take to create clips depend on the type of track you use.

There is a different kind of track for every type of clip. See Story tracks for more information.

In and Out points

The values that display near the top left and right corners of a selected clip (A and B) are Global In and Global Out points, which refer to the start and end of the clip along the Action timeline or Edit timeline. The values that display near the bottom left and right corners of a selected clip (C and D) are Local In and Local Out points, which refer to the start and end of the clip when it was first created and exported, and display near the bottom of selected clips.
