ABSTRACT

Once you have set these options, click next to “Default” in the information window header and change the display screen to “Video Editing” (Figure 20.2).

In the video sequence editor, click on “Add” in the header and select “Movie” (Figure 20.3). The file browser window displays. Navigate to the folder containing your video clips. On my computer, my clips are in “C:\SubAnim\”— you can see that I have five clips that form a movie when spliced together (Figure 20.4). Click on your first clip to highlight it (it’s

shown in orange) then click on “Add Movie Strip” in the upper RH corner of the file browser. The video clip is entered into the video sequence editor as a blue strip with a white border; the white border indicates that it is selected (Figure 20.5). If you press the E key, you can drag the clip right or left along the screen. The vertical green line is a cursor and is located at position 0+01 in the figure, which is the beginning of the timeline. Drag the clip until the start of the clip is at position 0.00 (Figure 20.6).
