So now that we've tightened up the interview a little bit and you of course, could continue by taking out certain ahms and ahhs and other pauses, but for now, let's start to add some additional footage to the edit. And we're going to be cutting in some of the footage in the People bin and in the other bins that we created a few moments ago. So let's go back to the Project panel, and twirl up the Jim bin and now let's open up the People bin, but before you do that, let's open it up in the existing Project panel.
So instead of having it open up in its own panel we'll do this by holding down the Option key if you're on a Mac or the Alt key if you're on Windows and with that key held down on your keyboard, double-click the People bin. That opens the bin up in the current panel. Great! Now let's change this to the Icon View and we'll want to stretch this out so we can see all of the clips inside.
Of course, you might want to make your source monitored a little bit bigger here, because we are going to be screening these clips. So let's start by double-clicking on the first clip, Boys in Sand, we've seen this one already and let's try the second one, Toddler Playing. Now you'll see actually when I double-clicked it was black, that indicates we're on the last frame of the clip. So you can hit the Home key on your keyboard, remember that takes you back to the very beginning of the clip, that's kind of cute and let's try the third clip, Kids Outside Clinic.
Once again hit the Home key if you need to, to see the beginning of the clip, and I think this would be a great clip to start with. So, first of all, we're going to need to set an in and out point here in the source monitor to tell Premiere Pro which parts of the clip we want to use in the sequence. So let's go back to the beginning of the clip, and let's think about this for a second. So, of course, we can play back in slow motion with K and L and maybe before the girl looks away we want to cut away from this. So let's go back to the beginning of the clip and set an in point, let's go to right before she turns away from the camera, and then set an out point. Great!
Now what we're going to do is put these clips we're going to cut away to in video track 2 in the Timeline, that way we'll have the original interview still there on the bottom whenever we need to cut back to it and we'll be able to easily experiment with adding different clips above it. So we'll want to insert this clip right where Jim starts talking about the fact that many people in the world live in poverty. So let's take our CTI in the Timeline and roll back to that point, it's right about here. Again, let's go ahead and play back to make sure we're in the right spot.
I think right about there, the majority of the world. So let's find about the space where he's saying "in the majority of the world" and now let's select video track 2, because that's where we want this new clip to go. So just click on the name of the track video 2 and let's come back up to the source monitor where our new clip is. Let's take a look at the buttons on the right side of the bottom of the source monitor. They look just like the buttons in the program monitor, but they actually do some different things.
This button right here, you can see instead of being extract is overlay. This is going to let you do an overlay edit. Go ahead and click this button. You'll now see that this clip has been overlaid into the track on video track 2. So we can simply rollback our CTI or use the J-K-L combination to go backwards in time and play back this edit.
Something may have happened if you use the J-K-L keys like I did. It actually played back the source monitor and not the Timeline, so you need to make sure that if you're using keyboard shortcuts, you have the appropriate panel selected. So if it didn't play back for you properly, click on your Timeline and now use J, K and L.
Okay, quick little shot, but we're going to add some additional shots to it. Let's go ahead and add the second shot. This time we'll use the very first clip in the bin, Boys in Sand. Double-click it to load it in the source monitor. Hit the Home key to go at the beginning. Let's play it back to see which bits we're going to use and I think it will be good to cut away right after the poor little boy gets the sand thrown on his face. So let's go back to the beginning and set an in point. Let's play forward to the frame where we're going to set the out point, right about there and go ahead and set your out point. This time we'll use a keyboard shortcut to do an overwrite edit. That's simply the period key on your keyboard.
Now if you look down at the Timeline, you'll see it actually did the edit where I had my current time indicator. I actually wanted that edit to be at the end of the first clip we just cut in. So let's go ahead and undo that by doing either Command+Z if you're on a Mac or Ctrl+Z if you're on Windows. Now let's make sure the current time indicator is at the end of the first clip, just click and drag, and if you wanted to snap to the end of the clip, hold the Shift key down on your keyboard and as you click and drag, it will snap the CTI to cut points on your Timeline, just like that, great!
Now click on your source monitor to select it, and then hit the period(.) key again on your keyboard to do an overwrite edit. Fantastic! Click on the Timeline, roll back, and let's go ahead and play back the edit. Great! Let's add one more shot. This time we're going to add the shot Girl CU, CU stands for Close Up. So double-click the shot in your bin, set an in point here at the beginning, let's play forward and maybe right about here, let's set an outpoint. We don't have to be so precise with this one.
I'll show you one other method of bringing your clip into your Timeline. You can actually just simply click and drag the clip from the source monitor into place where you want it to go. So let's go ahead and try that. Bring your cursor right onto the clip itself and let's simply click and drag down into the Timeline onto video track 2. Of course, making sure it lines up on the left, and now let's play back our edit once again. Great!
