CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
The first two settings should be used if the
headers of the files on the storage provide
source timecode or keycode information. Then,
if the header data of a found video clip matches
a source in-/outpoint stated in the EDL, the re-
spective EDL clip will be appropriately linked.
Audio clips will be linked if their duration com-
prises the source outpoint of the audio event.
The File number as TC setting should be
used if timecodes of the original source were
used for the numbering of the image files. With
this setting the timecode information stated in
the EDL (source in- and outpoints) will be
translated into frames with the frequency set
for the EDL. Afterwards these numbers will be
searched for in the file names. If matching
frame numbers are found within a video clip
(in- as well as outpoint), the respective EDL clip
will be appropriately linked. Audio clips will be
linked if their duration comprises the source
outpoint of the audio event.

example, in the files’ header data, in the direc-
tory path where the found clip is stored or in its
file name prefix. Select the appropriate option
with the combo box.
