Create sequence based on selection 4. Select desired bin Match Frame - Ans: allows you to locate the source clip for the frame in the record monitor and loads it in the source monitor, button is found in tool palette Find Bin - Ans: allows you to locate the original bin for where the clip is stored, the button is found under source record monitor The Find Tool - Ans: Slip - Ans: allows you to change the content of a clip in the timeline Slide - Ans: allows you to change the position of the clip in the timeline Non-Linear Editing - Ans: editing of video/audio on a computer, enabling edits to be processed and reprocessed at any point in the timeline, at any time.
