Drag and Drop Editing
Drag and drop editing can be an easy way of assembling clips into a loose edit. Once you’ve defined a range of media using the Source Clip or the Source Tape, you can click and drag either from the
Viewer or the Media Pool to the Upper Timeline or the Timeline below to edit a clip into your program. How and where you drag determines how that clip will be edited.
