■ TUTORIAL: MAKING THE FIRST EDIT
Now you need to find an out point. The best out point that I found is when he
says, “and she suddenly called for the stage manager.” So let’s mark it.
First, try marking it as it plays. Here, you use the O key on the keyboard. Notice
that on the keyboard, you can mark in using the I key and mark out using the O key.
It’s an intuitive way to remember where the marks buttons are on the keyboard. Fur-
ther, in order to “cue” the edit to the first marked frame, you are using the Q button
on the keyboard. Clever, huh?
Note that when you make a mark on the GUI using your mouse, the clip stops
playing. This isn’t true with the keyboard. When I mark a clip, I like to click the mark
button on the keyboard continuously until the correct point occurs. You can achieve
this only by using the keyboard.
All right, away you go. Find the mark out point that you designated and then
overwrite audio track 1 and video into your sequence by activating those tracks on the
Timeline. Click and make the A1 and V1 track selectors active on both sides. Remember,
Overwrite is the Red record button on the interface, or you can use the B button on the
keyboard.
By doing this, you should have created a brand new sequence. Take a look at the
upper right of your screen. Above the Record monitor should be the words Untitled
Sequence.01. Look in the bin for a sequence with the same name. Click the name and
retitle it Basic Editing Sequence.
Huzzah! You’ve made your first Avid edit … okay, party over, let’s move on.
Navigating through Media
We’re going to continue to edit our way through this story, but first let me show you
some more navigation tools.
The most important navigation tool is the mouse. Remember, there is no rewind-
ing and fast-forwarding necessary. You can move to any point in the interview instanta-
neously by clicking your mouse in the mini-timeline underneath the Source monitor.
You can also do this on the Record side, either clicking on the mini-timeline underneath
the Record monitor or clicking the Timeline at the bottom of the screen.
Another great navigation tool are the J, K, and L buttons. In the last section, we
talked about using the slow motion analog scrubbing with the JKLs. Now let’s try
some faster navigation.
1. Go to the beginning of the clip (press Q).
2. Press the L key. The clip should play normally.
3. Now, press the L key again. It will play back the clip at double speed (60 fps)
Clicking it again plays at 90 fps and then at 150 fps. At 150 fps, the analog
sound scrub goes away.
4. Click it yet again, and the clip will play at 240 fps, which is top speed.
