select a portion of aclip in which to apply effects cc2015

Question

i got a key assigned to"select in to out". Now, I put a in and out mark on timeline. press F3 -- and it selects the entire (sub)clip. Not between the in/outs I just placed

i say sub clip. bcause i start with a single import into V1/A1. then extract out pieces from that by marking in/out and extracting. But sometimes I don't want to extract, I just want to zoom or pan on a section.

To get there currently: I'll mark in on one frame, then out on the very next frame and extract. That gives me myleft margin for applying effects. Move to the right, however much needed, and mark in on one frame, out on the very next and extract. Now I've explicitly marked where I want the effects to happen.

But I'm losing frames I don't necessarily want to lose__and it also seems like a fairly stilted process. Is that the only way to do it, since select in-to-out seems to expect hard edits? And why bother with SelI2O? I've always just clicked those "sections" bound by earlier timeline extractions to highlight them and then work on them. thanks

Hi,Thanks for the post. I think we've got a couple of things going on. The command Select In to Out will select the entire clip where In and Outs are already set. If you want to place a splice in your clip where you can make a change like you mentioned, consider using Sequence > Add Edit. Then, you can do your effect after the splice. That is the way most editors do a function like that. Would that work for you? Please let me know. Thanks,Kevin

Kevin is right ... you need to add-edit or cut the clip sections to add specific effects to that section only.
