You
can take a shot from the Shot bin (the source shot) and swap it
with another shot in the Storyboard (the destination shot). You
can replace the destination shot with a source shot starting at
the first frame of the source, or you can replace the destination
shot with a source for which you have offset the starting frame.
NoteYou can also replace
a shot in the Timeline menu using the Shot bin view, but the swap
can only be done in the Storyboard area.
When replacing shots,
you do not modify the overall duration of the timeline.
To replace a shot in the Storyboard without
offsetting the source shot:
- Shift-click
the shot in the Shot bin (the source shot) that you want to use
to replace the shot in the Storyboard (the destination shot).
- Move the source shot over the destination
shot in the Storyboard.
The destination shot
is highlighted with an orange box.
- Click the destination shot.
The destination shot
is replaced by the source shot.
To replace a shot in the Storyboard with
an offset source shot:
- Shift-click
the shot in the Shot bin (the source shot) that you want to use
to replace the shot in the Storyboard (the destination shot).
- Move the source shot over the destination
shot in the Storyboard.
The destination shot
is highlighted with an orange box.
- Shift-click
the destination shot.
A dual view appears.
In the left viewer, you see the original shot and in the right viewer
you see the new shot.
- Drag in the right viewer.
The start frame of the
first shot begins to change. You can see by how much you are offsetting
the start frame by referring to the numbers in the upper-left corner
of the screen.
- For greater granularity, middle-click
and drag to decrease the start frame by one frame and right-click
and drag to increase the offset by one frame.
You can also use the
numeric keypad to change the offset. Specify a negative number and
then press Enter to decrease
the offset or specify a positive number and then press Enter to increase the offset.
- Press Enter on
the numeric keypad to complete the replace shot operation.
NoteIf the source shot
is shorter than the destination shot, or if you offset the source
starting point too much, part of the destination shot will not contain
any images. Instead, an X appears in the viewer for these frames.
