Editing in the Timeline

Editing in the Timeline is very similar to editing in the Sceneline, although several controls are in different places. Most notably, when you switch to Timeline view, the mini-timeline beneath the Monitor panel moves to the Timeline, as does the current-time indicator. Other than that, all playback controls are identical.

Beyond the interface issues, most of the basic clip-related operations are also identical. For example, you add clips to the Timeline the same way you add them to the Sceneline. You move clips around the same way, and you delete clips the same way. If you repeat the exercises you’ve already completed in this chapter using the Timeline rather than the Sceneline, you’ll quickly become adept at all of these operations.
