CHAPTER 3: BASIC EDITING ■

The J key does the exact same thing, only backward. Press it once for –30 fps,

again for –60 fps, –90 fps, –150 fps, and –240 fps.

I use both J and L to find points without listening in slow motion as we did ear-

lier. To do this “rocking and rolling” technique, place your fingers on the J and L keys

and then move the clip backward and forward until you find the right point.

Here are some other ways to navigate through your media:

• The W button takes you to the marked out point.

• The 5 and spacebar keys play back the clip.

• The A key takes you to the previous edit in the Timeline.

• The S key takes you to the next edit in the Timeline.

• The left and right arrows on your keyboard jog one frame backward and one

frame forward, respectively.

Making the Edit

We’ve already made our first Avid edit. Yay! Now we’ll continue. When we make the

first cut of a piece, we try not to focus too much on precision. That will come later. So

leave the Record side alone. That may seem strange at first. After all, don’t we need to

see if it plays correctly as we originally marked it?

Well, no.

We’ll look for precision later, when we study the Trim mode. Right now, we’re

just trying to get the material into the sequence. So again, I advise you not to play back

the Record side.

There’s another reason for this. If we lay down each cut from the clip while

ignoring what’s there on the Record side, we don’t have to make a new marked in

point on the Record side; it automatically places the new clip where the last clip ended.

Playing back after each cut is germane to the video editor because video editors

have been taught from the beginning to check each edit after it’s done. That’s because

the edits were linear, so they were “permanent.” Nowadays, you can lay it all down

and clean up later.

Now we’ll do the second edit. Make a mark in where the subject says, “Send for

Alastair James up here.” Let it continue for approximately 53 seconds. The out cue is

“leave them … alone.” After marking, use the yellow Splice button or the V key on the

keyboard to record audio track 1 and video to the sequence.

The Two Methods of Editing: Splice and Overwrite

The second edit is too long. I did that on purpose to show you specifically how the two

methods of recording work. First, we’ll try splicing, which opens up the sequence and

adds new material, but does not erase anything that existed where the new material is
