6.5.3 Consistencies of Clips
During the loading of a project file or the import of a bin (see section
“Open…” on page 9-4 and section “Import Bin…” on page 9-18),
video clips are checked for inconsistencies: It is tested whether the first
and the last frame of each video clip is available on the storage. How-
ever, frames missing inbetween the first and the last frame are not ver-
ified automatically.
Select all With this menu option all clips in the timeline area
can be selected in one step. Further information
about how to select clips in the timeline can be
found in section “Selecting Clips” on page 6-40.
Cut
Copy
Paste
Using these menu options timeline elements can
be cut or copied to the clipboard of the operating
system and afterwards pasted again at the loca-
tion of your choice. Further information about this
can be found in section “Cutting, Copying or
Pasting Clips” on page 4-18.
Relink clip Once a clip is available in the timeline, it can be
relinked, i.e. referenced to other source material
manually from the timeline directly. For further in-
formation about this see section “Relinking Clips”
on page 6-58.
Bin-Clip
properties
With this menu option you can open from a clip in
the timeline the properties of its source clip in the
bin (see section “Changing the Properties of
Clips” on page 4-21).
Show Alpha
Channel only
This menu option displays the alpha channel (key)
of a video clip in the video overlay as well as at the
outputs of the DVS system. For further informa-
tion see section “Displaying the Alpha Channel”
on page 6-72.
Show
properties
With this menu option you can call up the proper-
ties of the timeline element where the context
menu was invoked. They will be shown instead of
the visible audio tracks right below the timeline ar-
ea. Via the properties you can, for example, adjust
zooming and panning or set color/gamma correc-
tions for the respective clip. This is in detail de-
scribed in chapter “Timeline Element Properties”
on page 7-1.
If the first and/or last frame of a clip is missing, you will be in-
formed about this the same way as described in section “Check
Bin” on page 9-19.
