Figure 5-13: The source-edit mode
The left part of the control area shows the clip coming from the bin (in
the following called ’bin clip’). Its contents will be displayed in the over-
lay to the left. The right part of the control area displays your current
video overlay as it would be in the edit mode.
Audio clips can be used the same way as video clips in the source-edit
mode. When dragging an audio clip to the control area, the audio clip
will be shown in the video overlay with a part of its waveform. The
length (duration) of the waveform displayed can be configured via the
Configuration Tool (see the “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for
further information).
In the source-edit mode you can select frame accurately an in- and out-
point for your bin clip. Once the in- and outpoint is set, you can drag
the bin clip from the control area to the respective tracks of the timeline
The waveform of the audio bin clip is not displayed when per-
forming a play-out of this clip in the source-edit mode.
The entry fields of the bin clip are connected to the selected
display type of the Edit Tool’s timeline. For example, if source
timecode is selected as the display type and such a timecode is
provided by the clip, the bin clip’s entry fields will provide the
source timecode instead of a relative timeline timecode (see
section “Changing the Display Type” on page 6-10).
If your bin clip was already set to a preliminary inpoint in the
bin, you will see the selected inpoint in this mode. How to set
an inpoint for a clip in the bin can be read in section “Preparing
Clips for Editing Purposes” on page 4-20.
