Hi, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, we're going to look at Automate to Sequence using video. It has a few uses, but one of the most fun is to create an instant music video. I have a song on the timeline, so I'm going to press M to create a marker at the beginning. Every time I want an image to appear, I'm going to press another M to create another marker.
I'm going to change my workspace to Window Workspace Assembly, and look at this list in Icon View. Everywhere I'd like this to go, I'm pressing I for In and Out points. I'm going to copy and paste these because I put a lot more markers than there are clips—Command + C, Command + B. For the new ones, I'm going to put different in points.
Maybe I'll do it one more time—Command + B to paste one more time, and yet another endpoint this time. I'm going to put it right at the beginning of all of them. Now I'm moving some of these around to have different order from time to time.
At the bottom of the screen, I have the Automate to Sequence icon. I'm dragging it to my Automate to Sequence, and making sure I have the Sort Order sequentially. I also want to use the In and Out Range and Ignore audio.
Let's see how the video has fallen exactly where the markers are. Pretty intriguing and very easy. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on Automate to Sequence using video. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
