Time for action – finishing the video sequence

Good. You are getting a solid understanding of how to assemble clips. Now, you'll learn to create a hold and fade the scene to black:

  1. Move the Current Frame Indicator until you see the sloop centered between the last two shields of the Viking ship.
  2. Select the Cam1 video strip in Channel 2. Press Shift + D to make a copy. Move the copy to Channel 9.
  3. In the Video Sequence Editor header, select Strip. Choose Clear Strip Offset from the pop-up menu or press Alt + O.
  4. Begin to move the strip and press the MMB to keep the motion within the channel. Move the strip until the stern of the Viking ship disappears behind the sloop in the Video Sequence Editor – preview window. Press the LMB to release the strip.
