You can have only one In point per clip or sequence, so a new In point will automatically
replace an existing one.
Mark Out: This sets the end of the part of the clip you intend to use in a sequence. You
can have only one Out point, so the new Out point will automatically replace an existing

Go To Out: This moves the playhead to the clip Out point.
Insert: This adds the clip to the active sequence displayed in the Timeline panel using the
insert edit method (see “Using essential editing commands” later in this lesson).

the overwrite edit method (see “Using essential editing commands” later in this lesson).
Export Frame: This allows you to create a still image from whatever is displayed in the
monitor. See Lesson 16, “Exporting Frames, Clips, and Sequences,” for more on this.Selecting a range in a clip

3. Position the playhead just before John enters the shot or just before he speaks. Around
