Figure 5-15: Set in- and outpoint of the bin clip
When everything is set as desired, select the bin clip in its video overlay
and drag and drop it to the respective video or audio track of the time-
line (see section “Taking a Clip from the Control Area” on page 6-4 for
further information).
To switch the control area back to its edit mode use the appropriate
button of the control area ( ).
5.4.3 Processing the Source Material of a Video Clip
In addition to setting an in- and outpoint for the bin clip, the source-
edit mode also provides the possibility to select other applications than
the DVS software to process your video data with.
The Edit Tool provides two ways to export either the original source ma-
terial or a copied version of it to a third party application of your choice:
You can export video data visible in the source-edit mode of the Edit
Tool, or you can export video data that is available in the timeline to an-
other application. This way you can process the source material of a
video clip further and afterwards use it again in the DVS software with-
out any difficulty. This section describes how to process source material
when a bin clip was dragged to the control area (source-edit mode) of
the Edit Tool.
When a bin clip is available in the source-edit mode of the control area,
you can process its source material either by using the original data di-
rectly (destructive export) or by previously copying the material before-
hand. To do this you have to use the menu option Export to
Application on the context menu of the bin clip’s video overlay:
You can also work the other way around: you can first deter-
mine and set the length of the clip to be inserted and then
move the part in light grey along the scrub bar with the mouse
to position it.
The export of source material that is present in the timeline of
the Edit Tool is described in section “Processing the Source Ma-
terial of a Timeline Element” on page 6-66.
