can you mark used footage as ‘used’?

[Richard Krall]

Definitely a skill I hope to develop. And when you put it that way, “Drop it in…oop, that was used. Undo…try somewhere else.”, looking at it that way will certainly be helpful. I should have had Duplicate Frames turned on from the git-go. Still wish I could see some kind of indicator in the Clip Viewer for portions of the clip already on the TL but, guess you don’t always get what you want…

And Walter, as a junior editor (me), that “a tad time-consuming” line is an understatement.

Thanks everybody.

You should be our Edit Assist working on documentaries with 200 to 300 hours of footage each. Talk about a tad bit time consuming…..

Crikey Shane, get down off the Podium, Editing is editing, some of us edit more than one project at a time and when you skip back to a project, it’s nice to see, instantly, which clips you have used. Premiere Pro realised this years ago and clearly marks each clip in the Bin with a Very noticeable icon saying it has been used already, it even trouble to tell you if it have been used more than once.

I think Richards question was plain a valid, I understood it in one glance but then I have been editing for many years and I would just like to thank my Producer and Mother.

The answer seems to be, Richard that the very useful tool in Premiere Pro is not available in you Editor. But then I can’t be sure as eventually FCP does make jumps to try and gain ground on the leaders.
