The practice project

Practice Assembly Brief Using clip_a_practice_source.jpg and clip_b_practice_source.jpg as stand-ins for real footage stills, build a short mock timeline plan: 1. Place Clip A on track V1 starting at 00:00:00:00. 2. Trim Clip A's out-point to leave roughly one second of extra footage at its tail. 3. Place Clip B immediately after, then drag it left to overlap Clip A by about 15 frames to create a transition. 4. Add a title card on a second video track (V2) above the transition point. 5. Note your planned in/out points and track assignments in a copy of timeline_edit_log.csv.
