CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
In the overwrite mode you can set a transition between two neighbor-
ing clips at all times. If needed, the Edit Tool will create the necessary
head and tail automatically. This means that parts of the clips may be
moved to enable the transition which, in turn, may cause gaps in the
timeline. For more information about transitions see section “Setting
Transitions” on page 6-44.
When moving or adding clips in the timeline with the overwrite mode
activated, gaps may occur in the timeline (no content to output in this
part of the timeline). Further information about gaps and how to close
them can be found in section “Moving Clips within the Timeline” on
page 6-38.
6.3.4 Muting and Locking Tracks
The video and audio tracks of the Edit Tool can be muted and/or locked
independently, i.e. they can be enabled or disabled for a play-out as
well as for an editing work. If a track is muted, its content will not be
played out; if it is locked, no editing work, such as a cutting of clips, can
be performed in this track.
Example:
With the overwrite mode activated add a clip from the bin to the
timeline or move a clip to the middle of an intact clip:
The result will be that clip no. 1 gets divided at the insertion point: The
added clip no. 2 will be placed here while the rest of clip no. 1 is over-
written:
