Hi, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today we'll have another episode of Chicks of the Trade. One technique that's pretty useful is to control + click on this and say "Reveal in Project." It'll take me directly to where this clip is stored. I could also say "Reveal in Finder, " and that's going to show me where I've stored it on my computer.
Something else you may find useful is to control + click on the sequence itself and say "Reveal Sequence in Project." It's a really efficient way to rename your clip.
Nesting is another trick of the trade. If I want these two video clips that make up this split screen to be one video clip, I can highlight them, control + click and say "Nest." I can call this whatever I'd like. I'll call it "Split Screen Guitar." Now it becomes its own clip.
If I wanted to make a chain, I can go to the clip that this responds to and I remember that I put a crop on him as an effect, so I'll uncrop that a little bit and scoot them over to the other side. Maybe I want him to be a little bit larger since I'm more interested in showing his technique. I mute this and scoot it over a little bit more.
As soon as I make a change, the nested clip immediately reflects the change. If I want this out of the Footage Bin, I can double click the Footage Bin. This creates its own panel, which I can undock. I can then close the bin, and it's still there.
I hope you've enjoyed this Tricks of the Trade episode. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
