1 00:00:01,940 --> 00:00:07,720 The first part of editing I want to tackle is dropping and trimming your layers. 2 00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:09,580 OK we need some footage here. 3 00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:16,230 So our right click on the project panel and of course you know you got to import file and select these 4 00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:19,970 two images and three videos that will do a click Import 5 00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:30,460 could create a new composition now which is 50 seconds long 12:18 by 720 with do you have 50 seconds 6 00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:31,820 guys you can press five. 7 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:33,250 So that's five frames. 8 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:37,770 This is two seconds because we are in Boston T5 not some looky over here. 9 00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:43,510 OK so 500 will be five seconds and 5000 would be 50 seconds and here you are. 10 00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:49,670 The first method we learned to drop footage in the composition is just to select it click and drag and 11 00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:50,930 drop it inside the car. 12 00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:51,730 Good. 13 00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:57,500 So click on the footage and come to the composition in the timeline now and decide that you want to 14 00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:58,910 drop it just over here. 15 00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:05,910 Now there is an interesting method that you can use the stick the time indicator to 25 seconds for example. 16 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:06,560 OK. 17 00:01:06,690 --> 00:01:07,680 There's got to 25. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,330 Precisely. 19 00:01:09,430 --> 00:01:15,190 If you click and drag your footage OK and you come on this side you can decide where to drop it. 20 00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:19,120 You notice how you have another time indicator moving on. 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,100 So you have the real time indicator another head playing around or play head. 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,690 And you notice the time on the left now indicating where the new play head is. 23 00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:28,320 OK. 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,120 So if I want to drop my video for example of 30 seconds I can come over here and it's pretty hard to 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,630 get 30 seconds. 26 00:01:35,650 --> 00:01:41,020 The best way is to set your time indicator come nearby and press shift OK. 27 00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:48,160 Notice how they merged and you release here you are the point of the laser is exactly 25 seconds. 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,630 The way you would like. 29 00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:54,960 Now we can click and drag and adjust it anywhere you want if 25 seconds is not what you want. 30 00:01:56,610 --> 00:01:57,830 Let's look at this flat. 31 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,810 Here let's take this. 32 00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:00,860 Let's move the other one here. 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,860 You notice that on the left and right you have two black rectangles. 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,070 This means that this footage the video itself starts just at this point. 35 00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:19,530 And before this point before the black triangle there is no footage there is no frames for the video. 36 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:24,970 And actually the layer starts here on the outpointed that is all you will notice. 37 00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:29,320 So you have the black triangle and it means because there is the black variant. 38 00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:32,600 There is no footage after that. 39 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:38,820 But as you notice the mouse pointer here if I come to the beginning or to the point it changes into 40 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,560 a double arrow you can click and drag and trim your lair. 41 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:44,880 Hopefully you know your video very well. 42 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,520 And you know what you are dreaming. 43 00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:47,350 OK. 44 00:02:47,650 --> 00:02:49,800 Then on the point you can do the same. 45 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600 You can click and drag. 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,880 Now notice the end point and the output of the lead have changed. 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,360 Why. 48 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,830 Because now you're working with the left over here. 49 00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:01,920 You're not working with the footage. 50 00:03:01,950 --> 00:03:06,180 This is one way to trim the layers and try another way that you already see. 51 00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:10,680 Let's take a whole food dish for example and create a new composition. 52 00:03:10,730 --> 00:03:16,280 Let's say you want to trim everything from one second to the beginning of the composition to the beginning 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,060 where do you see the beginning of the composition. 54 00:03:19,070 --> 00:03:23,150 So you zoomed in is going to still trim to the beginning of the composition. 55 00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:24,030 OK. 56 00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:26,940 There is a very simple shortcut that you have seen already. 57 00:03:26,970 --> 00:03:30,950 It's art or optional on the Mac and left square brackets here. 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,700 So it seems from the time to get to the beginning of the comp there is another shortcut that you might 59 00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,850 already know is alt right square bracket. 60 00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:47,000 We already said that that tool trim from the time indicated to the end of the composition plus or minus 61 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280 one frame you're not is there is a frame here that is left over. 62 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:58,710 Not notice the same techniques can work for a triangle for example or even for text if you like. 63 00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:00,090 OK. 64 00:04:00,090 --> 00:04:05,450 You're not is that text and shiploads are created for the lens of the composition. 65 00:04:05,490 --> 00:04:06,950 You can still come over here. 66 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:09,360 This is the important you can pass. 67 00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:11,610 And you know it's the import of the shape there. 68 00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:15,170 If you haven't moved it if you press I you are in trouble. 69 00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:16,450 I will undo the move. 70 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,100 OK. 71 00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:24,750 Then you can also click on the double arrow at the point and just limit or if you like you can use the 72 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:28,170 alt or option on the Mac and left square bracket. 73 00:04:28,170 --> 00:04:33,540 And of course you can do the same for the end provided you haven't moved the layer beyond the end of 74 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:36,290 the composition or beyond the beginning of the position. 75 00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:42,750 OK guys because would not be able to see the point and here of course you can apply alt or option on 76 00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:47,440 the Mac and right square bracket area are you have trimmed the layer the selected one. 77 00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:51,120 And of course if you had selected more layers it would have trimmed the same. 78 00:04:51,420 --> 00:04:53,170 So thank you very much for listening. 79 00:04:53,170 --> 00:04:54,870 I'll see you in the next hour.
