6.5.5 Processing the Source Material of a Timeline Element
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 video clip was already added to the timeline of the Edit Tool.
When a clip is present in a video track of the timeline area, you can pro-
cess its source material either by using the original data directly (de-
structive export) or by previously copying the material beforehand. To
do this you have to use the menu option Export to Application on the
context menu of a video clip in the timeline of the Edit Tool. It opens a
submenu where you can select other applications than the DVS soft-
ware to process your video data (see also section “The Context Menu
of Video Clips” on page 6-61).
Figure 6-59: Accessing an external application
The export of source material that is visible in the source-edit
mode of the Edit Tool is described in section “Processing the
Source Material of a Video Clip” on page 5-21.
To have an application available in this submenu you have to
define and set it first. This can be done with the Configuration
Tool (group External, see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user
guide). Please note that you have to set the appropriate pro-
gram parameters, if applicable, in the Options entry field as
well.
Please note that the Destructive export option is valid for all
specified external applications. If activated, the source data
will always be processed directly. When saving the data in
such a case with an external application, the source material
will be overwritten.
