Navigating through video files - workflow
I do some work with both Motion and Final Cut Pro. My usual workflow is to edit the required short clip in Motion, then export with a short overlap to FCP, exporting, say, a 15 second clip for an FCP import of about 8 secs, which allows for transition and spacing overlaps.
However, I'm usually working with source files that are considerably longer - I'm often importing a 10 minute video into Motion, of which I'll only use 15 seconds. Whenever this is imported, it'll place the clip at the start of the timeline, and I'll have to drag the clip to the area I want to use. The timeline doesn't seem to expand longer than the 15 second duration, which leaves me a lot of dragging. I assume I'm being daft here and missing something obvious - What's the efficient way of navigating through the clip to get to the section I want?
Thanks in advance, and excuse my stupidity...
