LESSON 16
Working with Color, Nested Sequences, and Shortcuts
t
Marquee-select
: Drag a marquee to select a group of clips in the Timeline 
or Project panel. This should be a routine part of your workflow. Marquee-
selecting clips in the Timeline lets you move a whole group of clips, and 
marquee-selecting clips in the Project panel lets you add all those clips at 
once to a sequence.
t
Import folders
: Instead of importing a file or collection of files, you can import 
an entire folder. Right-click in the Project panel and select Import, and click the 
Import Folder button on the bottom of the Import dialog. That creates a bin in 
the Project panel with the exact folder name and imports the associated files.

Review answers
1
Leave Color turns everything in a scene gray with the exception of objects that have a 
user-selected color. Change to Color replaces a user-specified color with another color.
2
The split-screen function allows you to instantly preview the effect of your color 
corrections and compare it to the original.
3
The settings are Balance Angle (the color added to the clip) and Balance Gain (the 
intensity of that color). You can also adjust the overall Hue Angle parameter to move 
all colors in a clip toward a selected color.
