+Introduction
+************
+
+Montage is the technique of assembling separate clips (video, audio, text, effects) into a coherent sequence.
+The importance of montage was first demonstrated by the Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1910s and 1920s.
+Famous is the Kuleshov effect: viewers derive more meaning from the
+interaction of two sequential shots than from a single shot in isolation
+(see the `Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuleshov_effect>`__ for a nice illustration).
+
+Obviously, the first thing in assembling your timeline is importing or adding strips.
+There are several ways to do this and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
+
+Before you can do anything with a strip, you have to select them. There are multiple ways of selecting strips.
+
+Strips can be moved in time (left to right on the X axis) or in the display stack (bottom to top on the Y axis).
+
+Splitting or cutting a strip will create two parts of the strip (before and after the split).
+There are two variants: Split and Hold Split.
+
+Trimming is the process of removing or adding a portion of the video at its head or tail.
+This will result in a decrease or increase of the duration of the video.
+
+Grouping is the creating of a meta strip whereby several strips are grouped together.
+
+.. Hint::
+
+   Creating a good montage is a time consuming process.
+   Therefore, all basic operations (add, split, trim, ...) have an associated shortcut.
+   It pays off to learn these shortcuts, even though the same result could be obtained with the menu and/or mouse.
+
+   .. The choice of specific keys (e.g. :kbd:`X` for Delete) is of course inspired
+   .. by the meaning of the operation but also by the fact that the shortcut
+   .. must be easy to carry out with the left hand on a standard (Qwerty) keyboard.
+   .. So, the preferred shortcut for Delete is not the :kbd:`Delete`
+   .. key (which is on most keyboards on the right hand side) but the :kbd:`X` key.
