  • Loads of clips to timeline

    Posted by Matt King on January 7, 2009 at 10:40 am

    Hi,
    I want to be very lazy.
    I have about 500 10-30sec individual clips that i just need to slap on a timeline BUT i want a gap of 2sec between all of them.
    Now is there a quick way of doing this or will i have to put the 2sec gap in between each of them manually.

    I know i can drag and drop them all on to the timeline but it is the gap in between i need.

    Cheers
    Matt

    The only thing I can think of is only slightly shorter BUT…

    Drop them all in so they butt up together.

    Bring up a SLUG to the viewer sent in/out to 2 seconds (minus one frame)

    Go back to the timeline

    Hit the ” key to jump to next edit

    F9 to INSERT the slug

    ” key to jump

    F9 to INSERT etc.

    Should go rather quick.
