I feel that the logic of the program is mainly designed to be selected from the source monitor, marking inputs and outputs, and sending our selection to an open sequence in the timeline. This way of working has a very different methodology to drag all clips in their totality and eliminate material as progress is made. In any case, it is always convenient that we duplicate sequences as significant changes are made.

It allows us to adjust frames and change the view of the monitors to one that facilitates it. ”
In this video lesson Raúl Barreras addresses the topic: Welcome, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 4 - Image Editing. Editing your first Avid sequence.
