After starting the software and thus the Edit Tool the bin is by default
activated in the tool area. Then perform the following:
y Add at least one clip to the bin of the Edit Tool.
y Afterwards take this clip and add it to a video track of the timeline
(see section “Adding Clips to the Timeline” on page 6-2).
y Then select the tab Perform in the tool area of the DVS software.
The tool area switches to the performance tool of the DVS software:
Figure 4-26: The performance monitor
After this the performance monitor is ready to assess the performance
(workload).
For our example described here you may also set transitions
and/or apply effects to the clip(s) in the timeline as long as they
are not a subject to a prerendering (see section “Prerendering
of Timeline Elements” on page 6-46).
If the controls of the performance monitor appear dimmed, the
performance monitor is disabled. To use it you have to enable
it first. This can be done with the Configuration Tool (see
“CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for more information).
