SPLIT EDITS This process enables you to create what is called a Split Edit (often referred to as a J-cut or L-cut). This is a cut/transition in which the audio and vision start at different times, so that you can show the reaction of a character to what is being said in the scene, and create a more natural overlapping dialogue.Ordinarily, you set an IN point and an OUT point for a source clip, and these points apply to both audio and video tracks. Set in a sequence, the audio and video of the standard clip appear at the same time. But, sometimes you want to set the video and audio IN or OUT points independently, in order to create the split edits. When placed in a sequence, a clip trimmed for a split edit will have its audio appear before its video, or its video before its audio. | |
