Lifting and Extracting Workshop




A simple cut in the timeline means you remove that portion of the clip. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline they stay separated and don't come together.
A ripple edit is removing a portion of a clip, just like a cut. You do this by right clicking the mouse and you will find the option to press ripple delete. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip come together so there is no open spaces.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut out a clip at one time. To do this, you set an in and out point and then have the option to press lift or extract on the right side of the clip. Lifting is like a simple cut it leaves a gap from where you set your in and out point, while extracting is like a ripple delete when the clips of the right of the cut come together, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.

Jumping Video



For the most part this assignment was fairly simple. At first I thought it was going to be challenging because i'm not very good with editing clips and all the different names for the tools. I think that overlays are really cool. Overlays look very natural.In the future I would like to use overlays in my clips and videos. An overlay is when you add a clip in the middle of the first one without extending the length of a video. All you have to is put the original clip in the timeline part, then you drag the second clip in the space desired. It sounds much more complicated then it really is.
