Summary

This chapter covered several important features. By now, you should know all kinds of shortcuts for moving around your footage instantly, know how to deal with the Viewer, how to manipulate the Browser, understand what metadata is and how to find it, and all about how to plan for, apply, and search with Keywords. If you’ve been working along with your own footage, and especially if you’ve never worked this way before, I hope you’re seeing the power of Keywords for yourself. You might want to jump straight into a Timeline now!

But don’t start editing just yet. There’s one more thing you should do first, and it’s just as useful as keywording. In the next chapter, we’re going to mark the best parts of our best clips as our Favorites. It’s going to be great.
