Titles

Title One (00:00-00:02)

This is an example of an opening shot title, which means the title appears before your clip starts to play. You might use this kind of title when you are beginning a video or showing what your next clip is going to be about.


Title Two - Four (00:03-00:18)

This is an example of an overlay or "lower thirds" title (because of its placement), which means the title appears on top of your clip as it is playing. You might use this kind of title when you are showing what is going on or who is in the clip.

Lifting & Extracting

Lifting & Extracting
A simple cut in the timeline means making a cut in the timeline. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline left a gap between clips.
A ripple edit is when you remove a clip without leaving a gap. You do this by right clicking the selected clip. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip connect to the left clips.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut a clip at one time. To do this, you choose the in point and out point and select either the lift function or extract function.

Lifting is like cutting, while extracting is like ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.

This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because the removal of the clips left the remaining clips with a good flow.

Overlays & Inserts

Overlay
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of your original clip. To do this, you drag the clip you want to use for your overlay on top of your original clip. I decided to overlay the second clip where I did because I felt it went well with the instructor's directions to "think about this."





Insert
This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in between two clips on your original clip. To do this, you hold down the CTRL key and drag & drop the clip on top of the clip of your choice. I decided to insert the second clip where I did because I wanted it to match the way I edited my overlay clip.
