Marking In and Out Points

The In and Out points determine the start and end frames of the clip. This is the portion of

the clip that is used when the clip is placed into a sequence, although there may be

additional media at either end of the clip. Many editing functions are performed by moving

either of these points, either within the clip itself or from within a sequence.

To mark the In or Out point for a clip:

1 Open the clip in the Viewer.

2 Navigate to the frame where you want to place the In or Out point.

3 Click Mark In or Mark Out.
