Insert Selected Clips to Timeline With Handles
“Insert Selected Clips to Timeline With Handles” is a command that’s available from the Media Pool contextual menu for editing one or more selected clips to the currently open timeline, such that the default handle length is subtracted from the beginning and end of each clip. The goal is to make it easy to string together a series of clips that you want to connect using transitions by automatically changing the In and Out points of each clip being edited into the Timeline in order to add handles.
1 Select one or more clips in the Media Pool that you want to add to the Timeline. If necessary, change the sort order of the Media Pool to put these clips into the order in which you want them to be added to the Timeline.
2 Click the audio and video destination controls of the tracks you want to edit the incoming source clip onto, and position the playhead where you want the incoming clips to start. If necessary, create new tracks.
3 Right-click one of the selected clips in the Media Pool and choose “Insert selected clips to timeline with handles” from the contextual menu.
The selected clips are added to the Timeline starting at the position of the playhead.
To change the length of handles that are removed, open the Editing panel of the User Preferences and change the “Default handles length” setting. Handles will not be added in either of the following two cases:
— If any of the selected clips in the Media Pool already have handles because of In and Out points that you’ve set, then additional handles won’t be added.
— If the duration of the frames to be removed to create handles in this operation is greater than the duration of one or more of the clips you’ve selected in the Media Pool, then handles won’t be added at all.
