Play the Timeline to see how the clips flow and how close you are to finishing 
this sequence.
Modifier-key feedback
As you drag a clip from the Project panel to a sequence or from one place on a 
sequence track to another, Adobe Premiere Pro displays a text message at the bot-
tom of the user interface reminding you of the modifier-key options.

LESSON 5
Creating Cuts-Only Videos
Working with Source Monitor editing tools
At the beginning of this lesson, you assembled clips on the Timeline by creating a 
storyboard and then automating the storyboard to the Timeline. You also practiced 
dragging clips from a bin directly to the Timeline. Both of these methods (or 
work-
flows
) are valid.
Now you’ll look at one of the most common workflows for assembling clips onto 
the Timeline. It may seem awkward at first, but if you practice this method, you 
may find it to be the fastest, most efficient way to edit. It’s helpful to trim clips 
before moving them from the Project panel to the Timeline. You just trimmed the 
In point of a clip and dragged it to the Timeline with the pointer. In this exercise, 
you’ll set the In and Out points (trim the beginning and the end) of a clip and use 
the keyboard to send the clips to the Timeline.
1
Open Lesson 05-07.prproj.
You need to trim the end of clip you just added to the Timeline.
2
Double-click the Medieval_Hero_01.mpeg clip you just added to the Timeline. 
In this case, double-click the clip in the Timeline, not the clip in the Project 
panel. This loads the clip from the Timeline into the Source Monitor.
3
Scrub the current-time indicator in the Source Monitor to timecode 00:00:25:21, 
and then click the Set Out Point icon (or use the keyboard shortcut 0). The 
Timeline is reduced to the length you set in the Source Monitor.
4
Delete the two clips on the Timeline to the right of the clip you just set. You’re 
going to add the rest of the clips via the Source Monitor method.
5
Click the Timeline current-time indicator anywhere along the Timeline, and 
press Page Up or Page Down on your keyboard.
The current-time indicator jumps to the next or previous edit point.
