if i want to make it a little bit easier
 

77
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,789
if i want to make it a little bit easier
now notice that i've got snapping turned

78
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:32,799
now notice that i've got snapping turned
 

79
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:34,870
now notice that i've got snapping turned
off that is very very helpful in this

80
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:34,880
off that is very very helpful in this
 

81
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,710

tool
 

85
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,950
tool
and then you can just kind of slide

86
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:38,960
and then you can just kind of slide
 

87
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:40,390
and then you can just kind of slide
around like this

88
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:40,400
around like this
 

89
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,710
around like this
zoom right in so that we can get right

90
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:42,720
zoom right in so that we can get right
 

91
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,590
zoom right in so that we can get right
in see these lines these are frames so i

92
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:45,600
in see these lines these are frames so i
 

93
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,710
in see these lines these are frames so i
can next frame next frame next frame and

94
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:48,720
can next frame next frame next frame and
 

95
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,270
can next frame next frame next frame and
i can get right in there and find the

96
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:51,280
i can get right in there and find the
 

97
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,590
i can get right in there and find the
one that is absolutely perfect for what

98
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:53,600
one that is absolutely perfect for what
 

99
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,870
one that is absolutely perfect for what
i want to do

100
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:54,880
i want to do
 

101
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,190
i want to do
so for the case of a thumbnail i'd want

102
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:57,200
so for the case of a thumbnail i'd want
 

103
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,789
so for the case of a thumbnail i'd want
something that is a little bit off to

104
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:58,799
something that is a little bit off to
 

105
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:00,069
something that is a little bit off to
the side

106
00:02:00,069 --> 00:02:00,079
the side
 

107
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,149
the side
and there we go so let's say that is the

108
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:02,159
and there we go so let's say that is the
 

109
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,990
and there we go so let's say that is the
perfect notice that i'm using the zoom

110
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:04,000
perfect notice that i'm using the zoom
 

111
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,709
perfect notice that i'm using the zoom
tool to be able to change my snapping

112
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:06,719
tool to be able to change my snapping
 

113
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,190
tool to be able to change my snapping
here and it's snapping to these lines

114
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:09,200
here and it's snapping to these lines
 

115
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,070
here and it's snapping to these lines
because i've turned off the uh this tool

116
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:12,080
because i've turned off the uh this tool
 

117
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,910
because i've turned off the uh this tool
here

118
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:13,920
here
 

119
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,390
here
so instead i'm snapping frame by frame

120
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:16,400
so instead i'm snapping frame by frame
 

121
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,710
so instead i'm snapping frame by frame
by frame by frame versus if i had

122
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:18,720
by frame by frame versus if i had
 

123
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,350
by frame by frame versus if i had
snapping turned on it's snapping

124
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:21,360
snapping turned on it's snapping
 

125
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,030
snapping turned on it's snapping
uh at this zoom level it's still

126
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:23,040
uh at this zoom level it's still
 

127
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,830
uh at this zoom level it's still
snapping by the frame but um if you had

128
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:25,840
snapping by the frame but um if you had
 

129
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,470
snapping by the frame but um if you had
anything selected or cut

130
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:28,480
anything selected or cut
 

131
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,390
anything selected or cut
we're working with a raw video here

132
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:30,400
we're working with a raw video here
 

133
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,670
we're working with a raw video here
that's already rendered so it's a little

134
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:31,680
that's already rendered so it's a little
 

135
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,949
that's already rendered so it's a little
bit easier

136
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:32,959
bit easier
 

137
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:34,630
bit easier
but in your case you may have something

138
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:34,640
but in your case you may have something
 

139
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,030
but in your case you may have something
that is cut up in your timeline so you

140
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:37,040
that is cut up in your timeline so you
 

141
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,630
that is cut up in your timeline so you
definitely want to turn that off and

142
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:38,640
definitely want to turn that off and
 

143
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,309
definitely want to turn that off and
zoom in that's going to help you out a

144
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:40,319
zoom in that's going to help you out a
 

145
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:41,190
zoom in that's going to help you out a
lot

146
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:41,200
lot
 

147
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,910
lot
so

148
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:41,920
so
 

149
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,910
so
with the frame selected that i want

150
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:43,920
with the frame selected that i want
 

151
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:45,190
with the frame selected that i want
let's say that's the one that i want i'm

152
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:45,200
let's say that's the one that i want i'm
 

153
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,949
let's say that's the one that i want i'm
going to click on to my color grading

154
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:48,959
going to click on to my color grading
 

155
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:51,750
going to click on to my color grading
screen here and uh we typically think of

156
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:51,760
screen here and uh we typically think of
 

157
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,990
screen here and uh we typically think of
this as where we're gonna grade our our

158
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:54,000
this as where we're gonna grade our our
 

159
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,670
this as where we're gonna grade our our
scene where we're gonna add our chroma

160
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:55,680
scene where we're gonna add our chroma
 

161
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,750
scene where we're gonna add our chroma
key things like that but in this case if

162
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:57,760
key things like that but in this case if
 

163
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,430
key things like that but in this case if
this is the perfect frame that i want

164
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:59,440
this is the perfect frame that i want
 

165
