The Media Browser understands the complex folder structures for P2, XDCAM, and many other formats, and it shows you the clips in a visually friendly way.

If you want to add a drop shadow to a clip, why might you choose to use a different motion-related effect from the Motion fixed effect?

The Motion effect is the last effect applied to a clip. Motion takes whatever effects you apply before it (including Drop Shadow) and spins the entire assemblage as a single unit. To create a realistic drop shadow on a spinning object, use Transform or Basic 3D and then place a Drop Shadow effect below that in the Effect Controls panel.

The Motion effect lets you set a new position for a clip. If keyframes are used, the effect can be animated.

Will the Project Manager collect Dynamic Link assets, such as After Effects compositions, when creating a new project?

The Project Manager does not collect Dynamic Link assets when creating a new project.

That way, it's easier to locate and copy the assets for the new project manually.

Describe five kinds of sync points for multicamera clips.

The five ways are In points, Out points, timecode, audio, and markers.

What is the difference between a J-cut and an L-cut?

The sound for the next clip begins before the visuals when using a J-cut (sometimes described as "audio leads video"). With L-cuts, the sound from the previous clip remains until after the visuals begin (sometimes described as "video leads audio").

What keyboard shortcuts can you use to play video and sound clips?

The spacebar plays and stops. J, K, and L can be used like a shuttle controller to play backward and forward, and the arrow keys can be used to move one frame backward or one frame forward. If you are using a trackpad, you may be able to position your pointer over the video in a monitor or over the Timeline panel and use gestures to scrub through the content.

Why should you use the vectorscope rather than depending on your eyes?

The way you perceive color is highly subjective and relative. Depending on the colors you have just seen, you will see new colors differently. The vectorscope display gives you an objective reference.

How do you create a new bin?

You can also drag and drop clips onto the New Bin button on the Project panel.

How do subclips help you stay organized?

Why would you choose to include handles when creating a trimmed project with the Project Manager?

Trimmed projects include only the parts of your clips used in sequences. To give yourself the flexibility to adjust your edit points later, you'd add handles; 30 frame handles would actually add 60 frames to the total duration of each clip because one handle is added at the beginning and end of each clip.
