ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author covers using DV Start/Stop Detect and working with markers, creating subclips, and slicing up our clips, as well as organizing our material so that readers can work efficiently. DV Start/Stop Detect is probably the best way to work with DV material in FCE. HDV material already comes into the Browser broken down into separate clips, but DV material does not. Method of working with media without DV Start/Stop Detect is to open the original master clip into the Viewer and mark our shots with In and Out points. Slicing, whether in the Viewer or the Timeline, has the advantage of quickly and easily accessing all of your material while still cutting it up into shots for editing. Cutting up our shots and organizing them into bins is critical to working efficiently, particularly for long-form work, projects longer than 20 minutes or so.
