using colour corrected footage at DVinfo.net

Paul Mailath · February 23rd, 2009, 07:03 PM

I'm using CS4 and have hit a wall - I captured a couple of tapes and put together a sequence, then colour corrected and I'm happy with the finished product. Now I want to use excerpts from that footage to make a highlights section.

If I take from the original timeline I stuff that up, if I go to the original footage, I need to CC again?

I want to use the cc'd footage as the basis for another clip - do I have to export and then use the resultant file?

I'm sure there's a simple answer - but I can't find it

Paul... Just duplicate the timeline. Right click the timeline in the bin to make a copy then you can do whatever you want with it without changing the original.

Plus, if needed, you can also :

- copy and paste effects between clips;
- copy and [right click->Paste Attributes] the entire chain of effects, motion and opacity attributes and keyframes between clips;
- copy and paste clips (including their effects and attributes) between sequences

cheers.
