Creating a New Cut
 
 
 

Before you begin a new project, you should create a cut. When you create a cut, the current cut is duplicated and given the name of the new cut.

TipAn empty cut is automatically created when you create a new scene. You can use this cut as a starting point anytime you need to create a new cut.

To create a new cut:

  1. Click Editing, and then click Browse to display the Browse menu.
  2. Select the “empty” cut in the Cut Name list, and then click Load.

    A cut with no shots is loaded into the timeline.

  3. Enter the name for the new cut in the Cut Name field.
  4. Click New.

    A new cut is created from the current timeline. The name given to the cut appears in the Cut Name list.
