Question

Multiple "ins and out" from the same sequence

Hi guys...I video'd a 35 minute music performance. I now want to create a 5-6 minute highlight reel. I thought I could do this by applying multiple "Ins and Outs". However after applying the first set, when I then select the next set, I loose the first one. How do I apply multiple "ins and outs" from the same sequence?

In the project panel, right click the sequence > duplicate.

Open the duplicate sequence, make cuts and delete the parts you don't want.

Fill the empty spots with black video if needed.

I like editing that kind of thing.

I would drop the clip into a sequence. Then go to the first spot to 'save' and press <Q>, then go to the end of that clip, and add edit/cut (<Ctrl-K> by default), then just do that again:

 

Go to the inpoint of the next section to keep  and Press <Q> then the end of where that clip ends and Add Edit. <ctrl-k>.

You cannot. You could either cut out what you don't want, leaving your highlights. Or copy/paste your wanted highlights from one sequence to another. Or make subclips of your highlights and then put those into a new edit (but that's the long way). Or open you sequence in the Source monitor and edit your wanted highlights into a new sequence. 

Multiple ways to achieve the end result.

I think my problem is going to be, I'm displaying a beginning-to-end timecode in the sequence and the client is giving me the beginng and end time code of the sections to keep. I think if I pull the selected section to another sequence, the time codes will change....no?

You're correct that trimming in the timeline doesn't remove any media from the original clips. Just in the edit. I don't understand the question on  do the same to an "in and out" clip. IN/OUT points are set, cleared and moved at will by the editor to mark sections IN to OUT for various things. If in the Source monitor, it's to edit into a timeline. If in a timeline then to delete to extract that section or maybe copy/paste it ot another place. 

I would suggest reading this article about trimming shortcuts in the timeline as they are very, very helpful. 


What I'm asking is, if I apply an in and out, then copy that selection to another sequence, can I shift the in and out cut points to reveal the content that was previously "hidden"? Unfortunately, I'm not at my machine where I have PP installed to try it myself.
