All language subtitles for 5. Cut Tab - Making Selects Cut Tab Kolder Creative

So making selects is the process
of refining your timeline

so that you're cutting out
all the garbage,

all the stuff that you're
not going to be using

and only keeping potential clips
that you will use in your edit.

Typically, the way that I like to do
this is to

create a new timeline for each day
or major event of the project.

Through all of my footage
into that timeline and start to cut it up,

I cut out all the garbage, keep
only the good stuff, and that way I have

all of the best clips from that one day
or event in one timeline grouped together.

And that way I'm able to quickly navigate
through that entire day's

worth of footage
without having to constantly

watch the stuff that I know
I'm not going to be using.

This is a very important step

in the editing process,
and this is the step

where you start to get very familiar
with all of your footage.

I personally love the process
of making selects

because it allows me
to get really familiar

with my project and all of the media
that I'm going to be using.

All right.

So now that we have an understanding
of how the cut tab works,

let me show you guys
how I would make my selection here.

So the first thing I do
whenever I'm making my selects is

I create a new timeline for each day
or event of the project.

So in this case, we have one of the days
here, longboard data,

and I'm going to create a new timeline

just for this one specific day
so I can make my selects in that timeline.

So I'm going to hit
command n to make a new timeline

and I'm going to call this
the same name as the folder we have here.

So going to call it 20 10806
that's the date and we're going to call it

dash longboard data.

I'm going to make sure use
project settings is selected right here.

I'm going to press create

and we can see that we are back
in the root folder in the media pool.

And what I'm going to do is just take that
timeline, drag it into timelines.

Just to keep things organized.

Now, I can go back into my video folder,
go back into longboard data.

So the first thing I want to do
before dragging all of my clips into

my timeline is to make sure that they are
organized in chronological order.

So the way that we can do
that is to go up here

and choose
how we want things to be sorted by.

So I'm going to click clip name,
and that way.

Everything is organized by a clip name.

Now I can command a select everything
in here and I can either press six.

Or just drag it into my timeline.

So by pressing six,
I've inserted all of those.

Clips
and now I'm ready to start making my.

Selects.

So the shortcuts
I like to use for making selects

are 1 to 3 and Q and E.

Now, one, two, three.

Allow me to navigate my timeline
forwards and backwards.

One is to playback my timeline in reverse,
and if I keep pressing one, it's

going to playback
faster. And faster in reverse.

Same thing goes with three.

Three is to playback forwards,

but the more I press it,
the faster it's going to playback forward.

So I press three
once we can see it's playing back out.

When I press it again,

we can see under the preview window
we have two x, if I press it again, four.

x8x and.

Whenever I want to stop I could press two.

Two is basically like an alternative to.

The spacebar,
so I could press two to start

and then I could press two to stop
and I could do the same thing with one.

So I'm playing it backwards.

I could press it. Again
to x, speed backwards.

Four, x speed backwards, etc.. Etc..

So one, two and three.

Very important shortcuts
to navigate my timeline.

So next up we have q, W, and E.

Now W allows me
to split the selected clip.

So if I have a clip

selected in my timeline here, I press W
we can see that it cut it

wherever the play head is, I'm
going to command SDA undo.

So next to W, we have E and E

allows us to trim the clip to the right.

Of the play head.

So if I have this clip
selected in my timeline

and let's say I don't want everything
to the right of the play head for this

clip, I can select E and it will ripple
delete everything to the right.

Of the player
head for that selected. Clip.

And what repo delete means is it
not only deletes the clip

to the right of the player,
but it also deletes the gap

that would have been left over
between those two clips.

So kind of pushes everything back over
so there's no gaps left in between

the clips.

Now, cute is the same thing,
except it deletes everything

to the left of the play
head for. The selected clip.

So let's.

Say I'm scrubbing through my timeline here
and I don't want the start.

Of this clip.
I think that it's unnecessary.

I don't like how he walks
through the frame There.

So I can just hit cue
and it's going to delete this.

Section of the clip that's selected.

Just like that, we've repo deleted.

That first section of the clip.

So that's a shortcut to repo delete any.

Clip that's selected in your. Timeline.

I'm going to hit command Z to undo that.

And the last shortcut that I use
all the time in the cut tab is S

and that is the Raven clock
keyboard shortcut for repo delete.

So if there's ever a clip
that I just don't want, I can just hit s

and it not only deletes the clip,
but it also deletes the gap

that would have been left over between
the clips and pushes everything over.

And for me, these are the shortcuts
that allow me to make my.

Selects so fast. In this page.

And let's go to the beginning.

I mean, to show you guys
how I would actually cut.

Down this group of clips.

So I'm going to press play to start
previewing three to move forwards

and we can see this
first clips kind of useless.

So I'm just going to repo

delete it by hitting as I'm going
to press three to move forwards.

This could be a good moment.

For like beats to show
how early we started.

So I'm using three and one
to navigate the timeline to do pause and.

I'm going to hit cue.
To cut the start of that.

Let's move forwards.

I probably only want
like a small portion of this.

I'll hit two to stop there
and I'll just delete the end of this clip.

And just like that,
I've isolated my favorite moment from that

longer clip right here.

I'm going to hit three to move forwards.

And this is. An interesting clip.

I think it could work well for the behind
the scenes portion of this video.

But I only want to keep
a small section of it.

So I'm just going to isolate this little
section here by cutting the ends off.

And this is the same thing.

Lots of beats stuff.

I don't know
if I'm going to use any of this.

I like this part here where it shows
Bryn holding the ronin,

so I'm going to cut everything before that
moment by pressing cue hit two to play

and then cut the last part of this
as well. E.

Okay,
so now we got a little moment right here.

I'm going to cut the end.

I like this part here.
I'm going to isolate this.

So I'm going to hit W

to cut out this first section

and then I'm going to keep going
through the rest of this clip

to see if there's anything
else that I could use.

Yeah, there's good moments here.

Uh, that's a cool moment.

We could just isolate that.

I'll take you to delete the start of that.

We don't need anything there
to to stop w to again,

cut out this section of the clip
and keep it

cool.

Moment of him walking with the board.

So I'll cue rip or delete
the first part of that

and I'll just isolate that section again.

Hit three to move forwards and maybe.

I'll keep. Another part of this.

Maybe I want the part where the guy scoots
by, so I'll just hit cue to delete

the start of that to, to play

and we will just isolate
that one little section right there

and I'll just play back
through the rest of this clip quickly.

Okay. There's another moment.

Where they hang out here.

I'll cue to delete
the start of that to to play

cool.

Is that one little genuine moment?
That's cool.

E to cut the end of it so we can.

See that we've successfully managed to.

Trim out for usable clips
from this one long clip,

but we deleted all the parts that we know
we wouldn't want to use.

So that is really the process
of making selects.

We're refining our footage,
we're deleting all the stuff that we.

Don't want
and really only keeping the stuff

that we could potentially use.

So over.

Here we have a cool moment of brain.

Kind of directing the crew here.

He's telling them what to do.

That's a cool bits moment.

I'm just going to isolate that.

So I mean, had W to isolate
first section of the clip

and I'll keep playing forwards. Hit three.

All right.

There's another moment.

I feel like that could be cool.

Delete the start of this here.

Press two to play

to again.

I'll isolate that section
three to playback forwards.

I don't like the rest of this clip,
so I'm just going to rip or delete it.

So I'm gonna continue doing this
for the rest of my timeline.

I'm going to delete all the garbage

and try to only keep the good stuff
that I could potentially use.

And once I'm done this timeline,
I'm going to do the exact same thing

for every other major event
or day of the project.

In this case, it's all days.

So I'm going to make a new timeline
for each day of the project.

I'm going to make sure to bring
that timeline into the timeline folders.

I'm going to bring the footage
from each folder

or day of the project
into its corresponding timeline,

make my selects in there,
and then once I have my selects

for every single day of the project,
I'm going to refine them even more.

And then it's time to start piecing
together the main edit.

So obviously the process of making selects
for every single folder

in this entire project
is going to take a while.

But this is important to do so that you
get familiar with all the footage.

And for me,
during the process of making selects,

that's
where I come up with a lot of my ideas.

So if you're taking a project seriously,
I highly recommend that you go through

the process of making selects yourself
and you get familiar with all the clips.

You find the parts that you want to use

and you organize your timelines
in this way.

So when the time comes to actually piece
together your main edit,

you can very quickly access your best
clips from any day of the project.

Let me show you guys
what my select timelines look like once

they're completed.

So I'll go into the original project.

File over here.

And just ignore a lot of this.

Things may look crazy right now,
but don't worry about that.

I'm just going to go into my timelines
folder.

So over here.

And I could select any day over here.

So we'll do the.

Same longboarding day
that we were working on in the other.

Project. So Longboard Day two.

I double click into that
and we can see that I have all of my best.

Selects from the. Entire day right here.

They're all cut up.

And this way
I'm able to very quickly scrub

through my timeline
and get to the best parts of.

That day without having to view
all the unnecessary.

Parts of the clips
that I'm not going to be using.

Now, we can see in this case
that I've dragged

certain clips up to the second track, and
this is something that will be learning

about later on when we're refining
our selects in the edit tab.

But this is another great way to separate
the clips that stand out even more in.

Your selects to isolate them here.

So all of these clips at the end
right here are.

Actually this second layer of clips.

Condensed to the end.

Of this timeline.

Which we're going to be learning
how to do later on.

But for now, I just want to give you guys.

An example of what.

A finish.

Select timeline
looks like in. This project.

And because I went through the process
of making selects for every single day

of this project, I can very quickly
go to any one of these timelines and.

Access those selects. Later on.

Once we get to the edit tab,

you'll see how you can lay out
your timelines down here in a way

that will make it very easy for you
to start piecing together your main edit.

Essentially what I do is I isolate
all the best selects from each day,

put all of those into one timeline, stack

that timeline on top of another timeline,
which is going to be the main edit.

And I can simply just drag
clips from my main selects

timeline down to my main edit
timeline and work like that.

It's the best way
to put together an edit in my opinion,

and it's how I've been putting together
all of my most recent videos

and it's the method
that I'm going to continue to use.

So I'm excited for
you guys to. Learn that exact process.
