Tools

The Tools panel contains a number of tools for editing sequences in a Timeline panel. When you select a tool, the pointer changes shape according to the selection. For example, when you select the Razor tool and position the pointer over a clip in a Timeline panel, the icon changes to a razor . However, the Selection tool icon  may change to reflect the task currently being performed. In some cases, pressing a modifier key (such as Shift) as you use a tool changes its function, and its icon changes accordingly. Select tools from the Tools panel, or use a keyboard shortcut. You can resize the Tools panel and orient it vertically or horizontally.

A. Selection Tool - The standard tool for selecting clips, menu items, and other objects in the user interface. It’s generally a good practice to select the Selection Tool as soon as you are done using any of the other, more specialized, tools.

 

B. Track Selection Tool - Select this tool to select all the clips to the right of the cursor in a sequence. To select a clip and all clips to the right in its own track click the clip. To select a clip and all clips to its right in all tracks, Shift-click the clip. Pressing Shift changes the Track Selection Tool into the Multi-track Selection Tool.

 

C. Ripple Edit Tool - Select this tool to trim the In or Out point of a clip in a Timeline. The Ripple Edit Tool closes gaps caused by the edit and cascades clips to the right or left in the Timeline in order to preserve all edits to the left or right of the trimmed clip.

D. Rolling Edit Tool - Select this tool to roll the edit point between two clips in a Timeline, simultaneously trimming the In point of one and the Out point of the other, while leaving the combined duration of the two unchanged.

E. Rate Stretch Tool - Select this tool to shorten a clip in a Timeline by speeding up its playback, or to lengthen it by slowing it down. The Rate Stretch Tool changes speed and duration, but leaves the In and Out points of the clip unchanged.

F. Razor Tool- Select this tool to make one or more incisions in clips in a Timeline. Click a point in a clip to split it at that precise location. To split clips in all tracks at that location, Shift-click the spot in any of the clips.

G. Slip Tool - Select this tool to simultaneously change the In and Out points of a clip in a Timeline, while keeping the timespan between then constant. For example, if a 10-second clip has been trimmed to five seconds in a sequence, you can can use the slip tool to show an earlier part of the clip, while retaining its five-second duration and its location in the Timeline.

H. Slide Tool - Select this tool to move a clip to the left or right in a Timeline while simultaneously trimming the two clips that surround it. The combined duration of the three clips, and the location of the group in the Timeline, remain unchanged.

I. Pen Tool - Select this tool to set or select keyframes, or to adjust connector lines in a Timeline. Click and drag a connector line vertically to adjust it. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) on a connector line to set a keyframe. Shift-click non-contiguous keyframes to select them. Drag a marquee over contiguous keyframes to select them.

J. Hand Tool - Select this tool to move the viewing area of a Timeline to the right of left. Click and drag left or right anywhere in the viewing area.

K. Zoom Tool - Select this tool to zoom in or out in a Timeline viewing area. Click in the viewing area to zoom in by one increment. Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) to zoom out by one increment.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR VIDEO

Select >File, >New. - Choose PAL video format

Colour - Select >Filters >Video>NSTC Colors.

Always use Photoshop's NTSC Filter (in 6.x and CS versions ) to "legalize" colors for TV. This helps avoid color-related image artifacts, such as highly saturated reds and blues.
