The in-/outpoint will be set at this position. The still selected part of the
timeline will be displayed as usual whereas the deselected part is shown
in a dimmed fashion in the video and audio tracks. Furthermore, in the
timeline scale the selected part of the timeline will be marked with a
blue line and the length of the timeline currently selected by the in- and
outpoint will be displayed by the length indicator right below the time-
line scale:
The inpoint button sets or deletes the inpoint of
the timeline depending on the state of the DE-
LETE button. When setting, the inpoint will be set
at the position of the timeline cursor.
The outpoint button sets or deletes the outpoint
of the timeline depending on the state of the DE-
LETE button. When setting, the outpoint will be
set at the position of the timeline cursor.
An in-/outpoint can only be defined once. If you set it anew,
the previous one will be replaced.
To set an in- or outpoint you may also use the entry fields to
the right of the buttons.
