CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
The first two are also initiated via their respective controls of the Edit
Tool (the play and REVIEW button). However, to play out a defined part
of the timeline only, you have to set an in- and outpoint for the time-
line. How to do this is described in section “Setting an In- and Outpoint
for the Timeline” on page 6-32. Once they are set, you can initiate a
play-out of the defined range with the play button of the controls (see
section “Controls” on page 5-11).
In addition to the controls of the user interface, there are a lot of key-
board shortcuts available. These complement the controls (some of
them even do not have a control element in the user interface) and you
can use them for a faster working with the software. A list of all key-
board shortcuts can be found in section “Keyboard Shortcuts” on
page A-7.
6.3.2 Setting an In- and Outpoint for the Timeline
With the button DELETE and the in- and outpoint items of the timeline
area you can set an in- and outpoint for the timeline. A play-out and
finalizing (if set accordingly) will then be performed in the defined
range between in- and outpoint only.
The way the timeline is played out can be configured with the
Configuration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide
for more information). The way a finalizing is performed can be
configured during the setup of the finalizing process (see sec-
tion “Finalizing the Timeline” on page 6-80).
The DELETE button is a toggle button. If it is ac-
tivated ( ), you can delete the in- or out-
point by clicking the in- or outpoint button.
Regardless of the position of the timeline cursor
the in-/outpoint will be deleted.
If the D
ELETE button is deactivated, a click on the
in- or outpoint button will set the inpoint or out-
point respectively at the current position of the
timeline cursor.
To position the in- and outpoint frame accurately
you may use the in- and outpoint entry fields.
Simply type in in the entry field to the right of the
in- or outpoint button the position of the in-/out-
point that should be set for the timeline of the
Edit Tool. Then press [Enter] to confirm it. The in-
or outpoint will be set accordingly. Further infor-
mation about timecode and frame number entry
fields can be found in section “About Timecode /
Frame Number Fields” on page 2-17.
