Guide
Which of these three is the largest media container: Clip,
event, or library? - ✔️✔️Library
Describe possible organizational criteria for sorting clips and
projects into events. - ✔️✔️The criteria are whatever you choose: A scene of a film, a
segment of a
news-magazine show, a webisode, stock footage, raw media from an
SD card, all versions of the projects, and so on. An event is a flexible
storage container that can be as all-encompassing or as granularly
compartmentalized as your raw media and projects.
Name and describe the built-in command for backing up
camera media files. - ✔️✔️The Create Archive command creates a clone of your
source media
device, preserving the folder structure and metadata along with the
source media files.
Where should you store camera archives? - ✔️✔️Camera archives may be stored
anywhere. However, to reduce the
chance of a single-point failure taking down an entire editing job,
camera archives should be stored on a volume physically separate
from the media storage volume you use for editing.
What two views are available in the Media Import window,
and when are the two views available? - ✔️✔️Filmstrip and list view. The two views are
available when importing
from a recognized camera card file structure. Otherwise, only the list
view is available in the browser of the Media Import window.
What setting on the Zoom slider in filmstrip view allows you
to see each clip as a single thumbnail? - ✔️✔️All. The setting defines the time length
represented by each thumbnail
of the clip.
What keyboard shortcuts or modified-skimming keys let you
mark multiple range selections within a clip? - ✔️✔️The keyboard shortcuts are
Command-Shift-I and Command-Shift-O.
Holding down Command while skimming a clip also marks ranges.
