1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,520
Why several timelines?

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,180
Because a film is

3
00:00:04,180 --> 00:00:05,480
made in stages.

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,160
Work on the intro

5
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,800
until it is right.

6
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,960
Then the first part,

7
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,220
the middle and the ending,

8
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:14,360
each on a timeline

9
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,380
of its own,

10
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:16,480
without the rest of the

11
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,920
film in the way.

12
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,260
The main timeline stays

13
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:20,900
short and clear,

14
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,700
with one piece per part.

15
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:24,700
And a part you need twice,

16
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:25,920
like an intro for the

17
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,540
film and for the trailer,

18
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:28,760
exists only once.

19
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,380
Change it, and every place

20
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:32,880
that uses it follows.

21
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:35,280
When a part gets longer,

22
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,840
the film moves along,

23
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,540
and nothing is cut off.

24
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:41,210
This project has three

25
00:00:41,210 --> 00:00:42,890
timelines so far:

26
00:00:42,890 --> 00:00:44,270
the film, an intro

27
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:45,990
and a story.

28
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:47,530
They live in the new Timelines

29
00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:49,710
folder of the Resources window,

30
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:50,890
each with its first

31
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:52,790
picture and its length.

32
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:54,590
An open timeline has a

33
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:56,250
tab above the ruler.

34
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,900
The plus makes a new timeline.

35
00:00:59,900 --> 00:01:00,980
A double-click on its

36
00:01:00,980 --> 00:01:02,620
tab renames it.

37
00:01:03,530 --> 00:01:05,890
Fill it like any other timeline.

38
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,250
Here, a file from the media.

39
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,980
Now go back to the film,

40
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,000
and drag the timelines from

41
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,740
the folder onto the track,

42
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:18,100
one after the other.

43
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Each one lies there

44
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,960
as a single piece,

45
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,360
with the name of its timeline.

46
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,900
The tile tells you how

47
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,020
often a timeline is used.

48
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,500
Meanwhile, a second timeline,

49
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,300
Trailer, uses the intro as well.

50
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,740
To change the intro,

51
00:01:44,740 --> 00:01:46,800
right-click its piece and

52
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,920
choose Open EDL.

53
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:51,340
A double-click does the same.

54
00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:52,740
The path at the top

55
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,400
shows where you are:

56
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,780
inside the film,

57
00:01:55,780 --> 00:01:56,700
in the intro.

58
00:01:57,530 --> 00:01:59,350
Add a shot at the end.

59
00:01:59,770 --> 00:02:01,210
The intro is five

60
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:02,650
seconds longer now.

61
00:02:03,470 --> 00:02:04,830
The intro is used

62
00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:05,910
in two places,

63
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:07,830
and a bar says so.

64
00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:09,630
Make Unique gives the place

65
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,110
you came from a timeline

66
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:11,950
of its own,

67
00:02:11,950 --> 00:02:13,370
with your change.

68
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:16,070
The trailer keeps the old intro.

69
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:18,210
Here, both should change,

70
00:02:18,210 --> 00:02:20,770
so Undo takes it back.

71
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:23,300
Click Film in the

72
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:24,740
path to go back.

73
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:26,920
The film is five seconds longer,

74
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:28,600
and the story and

75
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480
the credits moved along.

76
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,100
Nothing was cut off.

77
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,120
The arrows left of the tabs

78
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,220
take you back and forward through

79
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:37,860
the timelines you visited.

80
00:02:39,130 --> 00:02:41,170
Want the clips themselves again?

81
00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:44,090
Decompose in Place puts the content

82
00:02:44,090 --> 00:02:45,650
of a piece into the film,

83
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:47,610
on tracks of its own.

84
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:48,330
It leaves a gap

85
00:02:48,330 --> 00:02:49,690
where the piece was,

86
00:02:49,690 --> 00:02:51,870
so nothing after it moves.

87
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,040
Undo takes it back.

88
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Each timeline keeps its

89
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,800
own undo history.

90
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,380
Press play.

91
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:03,180
The film runs from the intro

92
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:05,500
through the story to the credits,

93
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:07,180
in one go.

94
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:16,150
All timelines are saved

95
00:03:16,150 --> 00:03:17,970
in one project file.

96
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:19,370
This is new,

97
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:20,690
so please try it

98
00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:22,090
on your own projects.

99
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:24,530
Build a film from parts.

100
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:25,370
Change a part,

101
00:03:25,370 --> 00:03:27,110
and check the film.

102
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:30,910
Undo, save, and load it again.

103
00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:32,730
Then tell us on the mailing

104
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:35,350
list what works and what doesn't.
