How to organise your video files and projects?
You can organise your videos by project in the day/date/location format. You then make sure that you separate each bit of footage depending on the different camera you use (drone, camera, music, phone and so on)
You can end up deleting a certain project from your timeline, how do you get it back?
On the top row of your timeline you can actually click the cross by mistake and delete a project. Not to worry, you can get that back by going to the project bin and double clicking on the project. It will appear back on the top of your timeline.
Quickest way to make a vlog?
Right click on a project file and then click on sequence.
How to import a whole project without having to import each file one by one
You can actually import a whole project without importing a project one by one. Just drag and drop the whole project and file and it should include all of your drone, camera and music files.
Sometimes your music might not be preserved so you might have to create another music bin for it and drag your music files in.
Different views for viewing your footage in the bins
Keep in mind that you have different views when viewing your projects. You can use a list view which will give you a good idea of each project file and its fps and quality settings and you can also use a preview view where you can see how the files look.
Shortcut to mark-in and mark-out
I and O, once you’ve marked in and out, you can click overwrite and it’ll add to your timeline. Or you can press insert using the keyboard shortcut of “,”
Insert pushes a clip along, overwrite overwrites a pre-existing click
How to drag just the video footage of the timeline and not the audio?
There is a button to drag just the video in the source file window.
You might get a change sequence setting warning.
If you do get this then the best thing to do is to is just click change sequence setting as a beginner.
To see the tracks and what they are in the timeline
You can hold the alt key and just scroll up or down
Use the snap option
Use the magnet tool next to the timeline to snap clips together. The shortcut is “S”
Use the effects controls
Changes can be reset using the undo arrow - it resets straight away. Be sure to highlight your clip if you are making changes on a clip
