Getting Clips on Timeline
There are a few ways to get clips onto the timeline, including dragging the clip from the Browser or Viewer to the Canvas, or setting in and out points on a clip and dragging the clip to the timeline or Canvas. These methods are shown in the movies and is probably easier to see that way. Note that black left and right arrows on the second image. That is the In and Out points of the clip. You mark the In by pressing the "I" key and the out by the "O" key. Note that the clip will be placed where the playhead is located.
