Make Simple Split Edits and CutawaysJump In:

You can create split edits in a clip to have the audio begin playing before the video or

have the video appear before the clip’s audio starts. To create a split edit, you give a

clip’s audio and video items dierent In points or Out points.

For example, during a clip of a person talking, you might have a clip of a person listening

appear as the rst person continues talking. To do that, you create an L-cut in which the

In point of the video of the person listening is before the clip’s audio In point.

Likewise, another split edit, called a J-cut, is frequently used in video dialogue to begin

the audio of a clip before the video appears. Using a J-cut, for example, you might

have a person’s dialogue begin before the speaker appears onscreen. The following

illustration shows a J-cut, in which the audio In point is before the video In point.
