Creating Timelines by Drag and Drop
When you first create a new project, no timeline inhabits the Timeline Editor, and you have an opportunity to create a new timeline by drag and drop.
Drag any clip into the empty Timeline Editor area underneath the Viewers on the Edit page, and a new timeline will automatically be created.

TIP: These commands are especially useful for putting together quick assembly edits if you have metadata-rich media with scene, shot, and take information that you can use to sort clips into the proper order, and In and Out points that you’ve already logged.

The “Create Timeline Using Bin” and “Create Timeline Using Selected Clips” commands let you quickly assemble a timeline using the contents of the Media Pool, using whatever In and Out points have been added to each clip, and using the sort order of the enclosing bin to determine the order in which the clips will be assembled.
1 (Optional) Put the Media Pool into List mode, set In and Out points for each clip in your Bin, and sort the Media Pool by the column that will put all clips in the order you want them to be assembled.
2 Right-click the bin in the Bin list, and choose Create Timeline Using Bin.
3 Type the name of the new timeline in the New Timeline Properties dialog. If you want to use the In and Out points of each clip, make sure “Use Selected Mark In/Out” is checked, and click Create New Timeline.

By default, Audio Track Type is set to “Based on selected media,” so the timeline audio tracks reflect the track mapping of the clips you’ve selected, but you can manually choose other specific mappings if you need to.
