CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
– via the EDL combo box of the controls (see section “<EDL>”
on page 8-41).
Additionally, to view the EDL of a certain clip on the timeline you can
select the menu option Conforming » Show in the corresponding
EDL on the context menu of the timeline clip (see section “Working
with EDLs from the Timeline” on page 8-22).
8.5.2 Adapting the Appearances of the Tables
Once an EDL is selected and shown in the work area on one of its tabs,
the appearance of the displayed table can be adapted to your needs in
various ways. For example, besides changing the width of the columns
you can also display or hide columns. All controls to adapt the appear-
ances of the tables can be found in the area View of the conforming
controls (see section “The View Controls” on page 8-41).
The entries in the tables can be sorted in descending or ascending or-
der. For this simply click on the respective column heading with the
mouse that you want to sort the list by (most columns offer this fea-
ture). This switches between an ascending and descending order of the
entries in the respective column. The type of order will be indicated by
a triangle to the right of the column heading.
8.5.3 Changing Values and Entries
In most views of the work area you can change the displayed elements
to adapt the conforming to your needs. To change a table entry on one
of the tabs you have to double-click it. If an editing is allowed, the ap-
pearance of the field will be slightly altered, whereupon you will be able
to modify it. Depending on the type of field that you want to edit there
may be additional user interface items available then:
Some columns of the tables are hidden by default, such as the
ones to configure a conforming manually for individual events
(’Source type’, ’Search criteria’ and ’Offset/Start frame’). For
information about how to display these see section “View set-
tings…” on page 8-42.
Changes to events can only be performed as long as they are
unconformed (status ’Offline’).
