CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
With vertical editing you still work with the video track(s) as usual, i.e.
horizontally. But, for instance, in case you want to realize a temporary
cutaway or to evaluate the visual outcome of different shots at a par-
ticular position in the timeline, simply place the respective timeline ele-
ments in another track in the timeline. The higher the track number the
more priority is given to the respective track during a play-out.
Then, with the help of enabling and disabling the respective tracks
(button M, see section “Muting and Locking Tracks” on page 6-36)
you can easily determine the best possible solution for your work.
Example 1:
In the example below the timeline is configured to three video tracks.
All three tracks are enabled (not muted), i.e. all tracks will be played
out.
When a play-out is initiated, the result will be that clip #3 overlays all
others below it, i.e. the ones with a lower priority.
