How many clips can be loaded in Source Monitor

Never even occurred to me to try. Not sure why one would load a full large bin into the Source monitor though.

When I'm going to work a quick rough cut from a bunch of clips, rather than use the Source, I do "pancake" editing ... two sequences. Like below.

To start, take the whole bin and drag them to the "new" icon or into a blank timeline area. You now have one sequence going.

Take one clip and right-click 'New sequence from clip" and that appears as a second tab in the timeline panel, click the X so it goes away.

Find that sequence and drag it into the timeline area along the bottom and you should see those trapezoid shapes showing docking locations for new panels ... get to blue on the one on the bottom of the timeline area, and "drop". You've now got two sequences showing.

Cut the clip from the lower sequence and rename that sequence something like roughcut ... so you know what it is.

Click on the top sequence, then go to the upper left and switch panels active until you see the Reference monitor. Which should now be showing that sequence. The lower one should be in the Program monitor.

To work ... scrub through the first clip above, pick an "In" by doing Ctrl/Cmd-K, select an out by a second "k" action, click to select that section, Alt/drag it to the lower sequence. Click back on upper sequence and work your way down the line.

I'm home sick so I hope I didn't leave something out, but I think that's complete. the first couple times it takes maybe a minute to get it to work, after that, seconds.
