clip to the Timeline window or by setting sequence In and Out points. (But as you will see
in “Adding clips to a sequence” on page 127, you do not always need to set all four points
to perform the edit.) Even after clips are arranged in a sequence, you can adjust their In
and Out points—a process known as
trimming
—using a variety of techniques described
in “Trimming clips in the Timeline window” on page 148. For more information on
assembling
sequences, see “Using Monitor controls to perform three-point or four-point edits”
on page 132.
Setting, navigating, and removing In and Out points in the
Monitor window
Regardless of the editing method you use to add source clips to a sequence, you generally
set their In and Out points beforehand, using controls in the Source view. If you employ
editing methods known as three-point and four-point editing, you’ll also need to mark In
and Out points in the sequence, using similar controls in the Program view.
Once a clip is in a sequence, you can reopen it in the Source view to change its In and Out
points. Similarly, you can set In and Out points in the Program view to define parts of a
sequence you want to remove.
Though they serve different purposes, controls for setting and cueing In and Out points
work the same in both views.
Note: There are numerous other ways to adjust the In and Out points of clips in a
sequence. This section covers using controls in the Monitor window only. “Trimming clips
in the Timeline window” on page 148 explains other methods.
To set In and Out points using the Source or Program view:
1
Do one of the following:
•
To set In and Out points for a source clip, open a clip from a Project window.

•
To set In and Out points in the sequence, click the Program view.
2
Do one of the following:
•
To mark an In point, go to the frame you want, and then click the Set In button .
•
To mark an Out point, go to the frame you want, and then click the Set Out button .
To set sequence In and Out points around a selection:
1
In the Timeline window, select a clip or gap in the sequence.
2
Choose Marker > Set Sequence Marker > In and Out Around Selection. This sets
sequence In and Out points that match the selection’s In and Out points.
This command is particularly useful when replacing or removing clips in the sequence
using three- and four- point editing methods. See “Using Monitor controls to perform
three-point or four-point edits” on page 132 and “Removing a clip or a range of frames
from the sequence” on page 147.
To cue the current frame to an In or Out point:
Do one of the following:
•
To cue the current time to an In point, click the Go To In Point button .
•
To cue the current time to an Out point, click the Go To Out Point button .
Note: To go to the beginning or end of clips in the sequence, use the Go To Next Edit
button
and the Go To Previous Edit button . See “Using Monitor window controls” on page 105.
To move both the In and Out points without changing the duration:
In either view’s time ruler, or in the Timeline window’s time ruler, drag the textured area at
the center of the shaded span between the In and Out points. Make sure that you drag the
textured area; otherwise, you simply cue the current-time indicator.
