Learning About Projects, Sequences, Clips, and Media Files
To begin creating a movie, you create a project in the Browser. To create a new project,
choose File > New Project.
You can have multiple projects open at once, each represented by a tab in the Browser.
To access a specic project, you click the project tab. You can also drag a project tab
out of the Browser window to open the project in a separate window. You can reuse
and share sequences and clips between projects.
Learning About Sequences
When you create a new project, a sequence icon appears in the project, too. This
sequence icon represents the clips you place in the Timeline. You can open a sequence
by double-clicking it in the Browser, and the sequence then appears in the Timeline.
You can create multiple sequences in a project. For a long project, for example, you
might create dierent sequences to hold dierent scenes. You can create as many
sequences as you wish. A sequence tab appears in the Timeline title bar for each open
sequence. Clicking the sequence tab in the Timeline displays the sequence’s clips.
You can drag a sequence from the Browser and place it in the Timeline, just as you
can with a clip. You can place one sequence after another in the Timeline. You can also
place sequences within sequences. So, for example, you might create several dierent
sequences that represent scenes in your movie and then arrange them in their nal
order within a single master sequence.
