extract1navarro torres


A simple cut in the timeline means that you are deleting a clip and it is NOT sliding over. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline they are deleted from the timeline.
A ripple edit is when you delete a clip from the timeline but at the same time, you are sliding the remaining clips over to make the whole video flow. You do this by right clicking on the clip you want to delete and instead of hitting 'cut' you hit 'ripple edit' in order to slide all the other clips back. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip and are slided to come right after the preceding clips without leaving a gap.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut and delete at one time. To do this, you set an in and an out point of the portion you want to delete in the Program Panel and then depending on what you want to do, click lift or extract which is found on the lower right corner of the Program Panel. Lifting is like cutting or deleting a clip only, while extracting is like the ripple edit option, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an extract edit. I decided to ripple edit the two clips where I did because it added consistency and flow to the video as a whole because there were some parts where the horse was doing nothing and we felt that those parts were unnecessary in the video. Also, with the way we did it we added to the climax of the whole video.

The difference between and insert and an overlay is that in an overlay the video that you are putting in cuts into the other video. When you insert a clip, the clip gets longer and adds in the new clip wherever you have inserted it. The insert will most likely make the final product longer while the overlay will just cut in and wherever you put in the clip, the old stuff from the other clip will erase, or not show. Instead the new overlayed clip will show.

This is an example of an overlay. You use this to put in another clip to cut into the other clip without really making in longer.
