Once you store your media and resources into the appropriate directories, you can edit the footage to the timeline in preparation for colour grading. Procedures for editing footage may include:

• Browsing footage and bringing it to the timeline. See Loading Shots into the Shot Bin.
• Assembling EDLs in the timeline. See Working with EDL, ALE, and Cutlist Files.
• Editing shots in a multi-layer Timeline. See Editing in the Timeline.
• Capturing footage from a VTR. See Capturing Material.
• Performing basic gestural edits such as trimming, slipping, and sliding shots, as well as creating dissolves. See Editing.
