INSERTING SCENES in CS5 ??

[George D.]

I have been using Adobe Premier Pro CS5 for about a week now, and have learned a great deal, and progressing nicely. I love this program.

Since I don't have the money for a class, I would appreciate help and advise now and then if that's not a problem with anyone.

My question is this:
Once I have laid in quite a few scenes is there a way to "insert" a scene, you find later, in between other scenes without having to slide them all, one at a time toward the right so you can make a space for the insert ?

In other words, I have almost finished editing a video, but have come across a scene I'd like to be inserted toward the beginning of the story. Is there a way to insert it without moving all the others to make an opening?

Thanks.

You could probably just grab the clip from the project window and hold down the control key and drop it where you wanted.

Or insert a Sequence within a sequence. Look in the help file under "nested sequences" or words to that effect.

With the new scene in the source window, hit the comma key.

Or you can select the tracks tool (A) and use it to click on the clip after where you want to insert the new one. This will select all the clips on that track from that point forward and you can slide them across in one quick move.

Yes. Insert a clip into a sequence is actually in the manual. I saw it the other day when I was looking for something else. IIRC there are several ways to do this.

Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.

Everyone keeps referring to the manual. I got NO manual with my CS5 program. Is this something I need to buy online?

If by manual you mean "book" you're thinking CS3 which was the last time Adobe included them, totalling more than 3,000 pages for the entire Suite. It's all in the F1 Help screen which of course is faster and easier to find things with, saves trees and saves you $100.

OK, thanks.
