00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,940
Hi Guys let's start looking at the work area and what we can do the work.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,190
Let's create a new composition here.

3
00:00:10,210 --> 00:00:12,300
All Times is 14 seconds.

4
00:00:12,330 --> 00:00:16,040
I click on it and drag it to create new composition.

5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:18,420
So this video is very long.

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:23,530
For example I'm doing an intro for my YouTube channel but actually I don't want the whole video.

7
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:28,560
I just want to say five seconds and I know the five seconds I want to study them at 3.

8
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:32,530
Ok just from here and them and them I did it.

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,090
OK.

10
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:38,850
I hope my count is right and I want these five seconds to beat the whole length of my composition.

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,110
How do I do that.

12
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:47,580
Come over here two three seconds then you're not to you have a work area start and what area and work

13
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:52,140
area to start and define the work area you are in.

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,210
It's very useful sometimes when you are working on long videos that have a lot of effect to restrict

15
00:00:57,210 --> 00:00:59,990
the work area for a certain portion of your work.

16
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:07,570
In our case here we want to trim this composition to crop it to five seconds from three to eight.

17
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:12,330
So the best way to do it is to drag the work area start to the timeline indicate them.

18
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:19,110
And of course you can shift it to snap it but there is another shortcut that is very useful.

19
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:22,570
You press be OK for beginning.

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,770
And then you come to eight seconds.

21
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:25,380
That's right.

22
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,290
Eight seconds each to be precise.

23
00:01:27,630 --> 00:01:30,540
And you press and we have seen them before.

24
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:36,270
Now all I want is from three to eight seconds and I want the rest to disappear.

25
00:01:36,270 --> 00:01:39,540
That's what I want to work with to trim this composition.

26
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:41,670
You just right click on the work area.

27
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:43,530
So this is the work area line here.

28
00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:52,320
You're right click and he say trim camp to work area here you are now the work area has become five

29
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:53,020
seconds.

30
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:58,840
That's true but it's starting from three seconds and it's ending at eight seconds.

31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,180
Not exactly what I want I want to start from zero and end at 5.

32
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:07,280
Well you can use that three and it is no problem but to change that.

33
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:08,260
It's very easy.

34
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:15,220
You can click on the name you go to composition setting and here you have start time code three seconds

35
00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:18,860
just put zero and you click OK.

36
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,030
Now we have it starting at zero and ending at 5 seconds.

37
00:02:25,090 --> 00:02:26,180
Not very true.

38
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:28,890
That's right click go to composition setting.

39
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:32,710
And actually the duration is five seconds and one frame.

40
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:37,680
There is always this one frame in excess of the safety frame.

41
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:44,860
The reasons for this one frame is to keep compatibility with the older kind of movies and instead they're

42
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800
usually supposed to be zero.

43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,510
Nevertheless it doesn't bother me.

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,220
It's ok you can leave it there.

45
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:52,660
Five seconds in one frame is the same.

46
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:54,590
Or you can change it to five seconds.

47
00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:59,960
Now if you come back to the work area and try to right click it's not working anymore.

48
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:00,650
Why.

49
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:04,100
Because the work area is as long as the composition.

50
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,440
And there is nothing to do if you're right click.

51
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:14,720
There is no tree extract or lift call guys so trim camp to work area using the two shortcuts before

52
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:23,650
beginning and end for end and then trim come to work area to reduce your composition to the work area.

53
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:25,140
Thank you very much for listening.

54
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,600
I'll see you in the next lecture.
