Have you ever watched a film with a scene from the Arctic and for some reason you can’t help but feel cold?Īlongside all of the other factors that go into that scene, take note of how blue it looks.

You can have as many sequences as you want that can be edited together into a master sequence. The Timeline is the where all your clips go as you create your final project. The Project window contains the tabs for media, info, effects…etc. The play head at the bottom of the window mirrors the location of the play head on your timeline.īelow your monitors is the Project window and the timeline. ![]() On the right is your Program Monitor which previews your sequence. Source Monitor: Here you can preview your source material and set in and out points before cutting the clips into your timeline.
