  • What o Do After Edit

    Posted by Richard Vee on June 26, 2021 at 1:20 am

    I understand when you import a file you are just creating a link to the original file.

    When you drag it over onto the timeline a copy of it is made in the project panel.

    My question is what do you do with it after the edit,after you shorten it,color correct and SAVE. If I don’t want to leave it on the timeline can I drag it back to the bin? Do I “clear it”,,can I delete the original file and just keep the edited one?

    Also,can I keep an edited clip to use in another project?,,if so how?

    I’ve watched U Tube videos and I don’t see an an answer, so if anyone has a link to a tutorial,,GREAT !!

    Any help is much appreciated .Thank you,,,?

    It’s a virtual file you can leave the sequence timeline in your project forever.

    Should be a common workflow when you are in this field.

    Make sure to give it a decent name for identification.

    Once you are happy with your edit, you can render for delivery.
