- [Teacher] Connected clips…really act a little bit differently.…They're kind of glued to our main story.…Let's see how to work with connected clips.…Three-point editing to me is one of the hallmarks…of professional editing.…It's not the idea of just bringing…a clip down to the timeline.…I'll take this clip here…and I'll just select a portion of it,…and I'll drag it to the timeline above this run.…It comes in with no given length.…It comes in with whatever length I selected up there,…and that's never good.…A three-point edit is one point for location,…two points for duration.…
And I'll do that right now on this clip.…I'm going to say mark and in and out here on this clip.…Because this is a sound bite.…I'm going to come here on the sequence…called three-point editing,…and I'm just going to give it…a little bit more audio information…so you can see that maybe I want to put an in and out here…because I want a sound bite to cover…this portion of this clip.…That's what the sequence is,…i a series of the same clip over and over again…
