CHAPTER 3: BASIC EDITING ■

Changing Your Edits: Lift and Extract

Once again, I remind you that anything in your Timeline is not set in stone. You can

always go back and replace, move delete, add, and otherwise change any existing edits

that have been made.

Now, let’s take a look at two ways of changing your edit.

The Lift key works like videotape. If you were to remove an edit using the

Lift key, it would remove the edit and leave a black hole where it existed. Let’s try

using Lift.

The Lift icon is the last button at the top of your Timeline. It resembles a

muscular person lifting weights. Get it? He’s LIFT-ing. Oh, never mind.

1. Find the second edit in your sequence and put your blue position indicator there

on the Timeline. You can put the blue position indicator anywhere in the edit; it

doesn’t have to be at any one given point.

2. Now, click the Mark Clip button below the Record monitor. Remember, this is

the first button to the right of Mark Out. This button marks the second edit in

the Timeline. Now take a deep breath. If you’re nervous, take another.

3. Click the Lift key.

Note that the second edit disappeared, leaving a blank space in the Timeline. If

you play the sequence back, black will appear where the edit previously existed. You’ve

lifted out an edit.

Now we’ll try extracting. Extract works much like Lift, except that instead of

leaving a blank hole in the Timeline, it pulls up all the edits that exist after it. Rather

than explaining it in detail, let’s use this function and see it in action.

1. If you just did the Lift edit, undo that action (Ctrl+Z/F+Z).

2. Click that second edit in the Timeline and press Mark Clip. This time, instead

of using Lift, we’ll use the Extract key. The icon for Extract is a pair of scissors

. The icon is just to the left of the Lift key on the top of the Timeline.

3. Click the Extract key.

Note that this time, instead of leaving a black hole, you’ve extracted the edit and

moved the remaining material up to the point of your extraction. This also has short-

Note: In fact,there is a dark side to all of this.If you can change your edits, so can anyone else! Be sure to

make copies of your projects on an external drive, thumb drive,CD,or other device.Just find the Project folder,

copy it,and you’re done.If something happens to your project,you can always replace it with your backup copy.
