This is a multi camera view when editing your video, this allows you to see an array of shots that are in order to match the master audio. You get this by first creating a multi master and then selecting the blue icon to make it dual screened. When starting with an empty timeline, by playing the video you can easily selected your desired shot as it comes up in the master audio.

Audio markers are used to easily identify when there should be a change of shot without having to be aware of the audio coming up next. By using audio markers it can create a more professional finish with the use of synchronous shots to audio.

If there is a shot that you want to cut that has already been placed onto the timeline you can click the razor icon, which is highlighted blue, you would then click on the shot where you wish to cut it. This shortens your shot by splitting it into two, making it easier than deleting the whole shot and replacing the in and out points from the bins.

When cutting shots on the timeline you will need to move others in order to properly arrange your video. By using the forward tool it selects and moves all shots after your mouse as far as you pull it, making it easy to place extra shots.

Alternatively, you could use the ripple edit tool. This combines both the arrangement of the shots and shortening/lengthening the shots. Start by selecting the ripple tool icon in the toolbox and then go to the chosen end of the short you want to change. Find the edge of the shot, which will have a yellow outline, and pull in the direction you want to edit the shot. This method not only changes the length of the shots it also adjusts the entire timeline in order to stay in time.

The colour panel gives you the ability to do many different things to your shots. When you select a shot you can add a wash by selecting different tones to the shot. It allows you to use preset washes such as sepia or to create your own.

To change a particular area of your shot rather than the entire thing you can use the eyedropper tool on one colour, this selects only areas in the shot with this colour making it easy to change into your desired colour.

Once you have the area selected, blur the outline to create a natural look in the shot, in order to check you have the whole area selected click on the edited selection box and then the 'tilda' key to view it in full screen.

The pen tool in the tool box is very helpful one, allowing you to change the opacity of the shot from any point. You do this by selecting the white line in the middle of the shot on the timeline moving it down to lower the opacity and up to restore it. The pen tool is also helpful to create a fade in or out. This can be done by placing two markers on the white line and then dragging one of them up or down.

To create this effect of changing a shot colour whilst also layering them on top of each other you need to use the above skills and also be aware of how to use the timeline. When your shot has been edited in the way you need to be aware of the timeline, with the timeline automatically playing the shot on the highest track over one on a lower one. This means that when adding a shot on a higher track you need to lower the opacity to see both.
