| 1. | How can storyboards help? |
| 2. | What's the difference between a Trim and a Ripple Edit? |
| 3. | You want to drag a clip from the Project panel and place it between two clips in a sequence without covering them up. How do you do that? |
| 4. | How do you move a clip from one position on a sequence to another without covering up other clips and at the same time automatically filling the gap left by the removed clip? |
| 5. | How do you use the Source Monitor to do an Overlay, video-only edit? |
| 6. | How can the Trim panel's Rolling Edit tool help you? |
| 7. | What is the single most important concept in Bob Dotson's Storyteller's Checklist? |
| 1. | They can give you an overall feel for the flow of your project, reveal gaps, help you weed out weaker shots, and avoid redundancy. |
| 2. | Trims leave gaps where the trimmed video used to be (of if you lengthen a clip using the Trim tool, they cover that portion of the next clip). Ripple Edits automatically fill gaps by sliding the clips following the edit over to the left fill the space left by the edit (or slide them to the right to compensate for a lengthened clip). |
| 3. | Use an Insert edit. Before you drop the clip between the two clips in the sequence, hold down the Ctrl key to switch that edit from an Overlay to an Insert. |
| 4. | Use an Extract and Insert. Hold down the Ctrl key as you Extract the clip and hold down Ctrl as you place the clip in its new position. |
| 5. | Change the Toggle Take Audio and Video button to the video-only filmstrip icon, position the Timeline CTI to where you want to make the edit, target the audio and video tracks, and click the Overlay button in the Source Monitor. |
| 6. | Once you find a matching edit between two clips, you can fine-tune that edit using the Rolling Edit tool. It'll help you find just the right place to make a seamless edit. |
| 7. | This is a matter of opinion. I think it's "Make your stories memorable." |
