CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
y Configure the list to be created in the timeline appropriately.
Position Specifies the position where to add the clips of
the EDL to the timeline. For example, they can
be placed at the current position of the timeline
cursor, at the end of the timeline or at their des-
tination positions determined by the destina-
tion in- and outpoints of the EDL (not available
if C-mode creation is selected in Creation
mode).
Creation mode With this setting you configure the way the
EDL will be created in the timeline. It can be
created either in A-mode or in C-mode.
In A-mode the clips of the EDL will be created
in the timeline in the sequence of their destina-
tion positions as detailed in the file.
In C-mode the clips of the EDL will be created
in the timeline in ascending order sorted by reel
names and source inpoints. This may be useful,
for example, when you want to record the clips
of the EDL with a linear device such as a tape
machine (e.g. for archiving) or color correct the
clips more efficiently, based on the time of the
shot (i.e. on daylight changes).
The timeline can provide an EDL in
C-mode and A-mode at the same
time. Just build up the same EDL twice
in the timeline in different tracks and
with different modes.
The effects settings made for an EDL in
C-mode can also be received for the
EDL in A-mode: By reconforming (see
section “Reconform…” on page 8-46)
the edited EDL with a duplicate of the
EDL or with its original EDL file and
then creating this EDL in the timeline in
A-mode, the effects settings should be
available in A-mode as well (if set up
correctly and the clips provide different
durations).
Transition mode Determines the way transitions will be created
in the timeline. It enables you to replace transi-
tions detailed in the EDL with hard cuts.
