TIP Use the search tool near the media tab icons to find the exact items you are
looking for. For example, if you have the transitions tab selected, type “dissolve” in the
search tool and only dissolve transition types will be shown in the viewer, making it
quicker for you to find the dissolve transition you want.
Viewer Tabs
In the top left corner of the viewer window you will see the viewer mode buttons.
The viewer mode buttons
These buttons control which viewer is currently being used, including ‘source clip’, ‘source tape’,
and ‘timeline’. These viewer modes give you an enormous amount of control when selecting
clips for your edit and it’s worth spending a moment to look at how they work.
Source Clip The source clip viewer displays a single clip from the media pool
and you can set in and out points along the entire length of the
viewer timeline. This gives you greater control. Select a source clip
to view by double clicking on a clip in the media pool, or dragging
it into the viewer.
Source Tape Source tape lets you view all the source clips in the media pool.
This powerful feature is helpful if you want to quickly search
through all your clips to find a specific event. As you scrub the
playhead over the clips, you will see their thumbnails selected in
the media pool. This means once you have found the clip you want
to edit, you can click on the source clip tab and its corresponding
source clip will appear in the viewer automatically.
The source tape viewer really lets you take advantage of non-
linear editing, giving you the freedom to work on your edit, find
shots quickly, try new ideas and stay in the moment.
Timeline The timeline viewer lets you view the edit timeline so you can play
back your project and refine your edits.
Importing Clips to the Media Pool
Now you can start importing media into your project. You can do this in the media pool window
of the cut page using the import tools at the top.
