Lifting/Extracting Workshop



A simple cut in the timeline means the clip you select is deleted. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline stay in place.
A ripple edit is when there is a gap in the timeline and the clips are at the ends of the gap. You do this by either lifting or extracting. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip shift to the left.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to edit the video and the timeline at one time. To do this, you first select a clip and decide either to lift the clip from the timeline or remove it completely.
Lifting is like moving a card up from a row of cards, while extracting is like removing the card completely from the row of cards, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an exctraction edit. I decided to place the two clips where I did because it seemed like the right place to put them.

Title Workshop



The first title used is an example of an overlay title, which means it overlays the title. You do this by creating a title and dragging it into the second video track and place it where it fits the clip. You might use this kind of title when you need to recognize a certain moment.
The second title is a lower third title. That title may be used the same as an overlay title except it serves a greater purpose. It is used to show the name of a subject in the screen. You do this just like an overlay title except you go templates and select lower thirds.

Reflection

The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is that an overlay does not replace the scene, it only moves the rest of the scene and an insert replaces the scene with anothe shot.
You would use an overlay when you need to extend a scene, while you’d use an insert edit when you want to shorten the scene with another shot. In this case the insert edit works better because it better suits the scene better.


This is an example of an insert edit. An insert edit places a clip in a place of the clip and replaces the scene with the length of the second clip. To do this, you drag the clip and drop it somewhere in another clip. I decided to place the 2nd clip where I did because it made complete sense in the reaction of the lady observing the other horserider.

This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip in the middle of the video without recording over the other clip. To do this, you hold Ctrl and drag the desired clip in any place of the other clip. I decided to move the 2nd clip where I did because it shows who is observing the horserider.
