  • Adding Filler between 2 clips?

    Posted by Greg Jones on January 30, 2012 at 4:19 pm

    This is probably something easy, but I can’t seem to figure out how to add filler in between two clips in Media Composer 6. I can add filler to the beginning of a sequence, but can’t seem to find a command to pull filler up in the source monitor to insert it into my timeline.

    That’s where it is. Thank you. I didn’t look there.

    Just a point that filler cannot be added onto the end of a sequence.
    (eg extend sequence to add an audio punch in or to give a gap before next timeline clip.)

    I just make a black slug (disable “V” to loose transparency) with the title tool and use that.

    The title tool trick the Steve mentioned works great. Also, one thing I find incredible handy, is to keep a bin stored on your desktop and cloud that serves as a utility bin. Inside that utility bin I have black slugs, bars/tone sequences, slates and any other “quick grab” stuff I might need. From within any project I can open that utility bin and then I have everything I need.
    Thanks Fellow Bovines,

    I’m having an issue where the “Load Filler” option is no longer present. How do I fix this?

    Thank you.
