CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
9.2.5 Add EDL…
Via the menu option Add EDL… you can add an EDL or cut list to your
project. This is described in detail in section “Importing and Adding
EDLs” on page 8-6.
9.2.6 Add clips…
The menu option Add clips… performs the same operation as the Add
Clip menu option on the context menu of the bin’s contents area. See
section “Adding Clips to the Bin Using the ’Add Clip’ Menu Options”
on page 4-9 for further information about this.
9.2.7 Save
With the menu option Save you can save the current project. If the ed-
ited project file was a new one, a dialog window opens where you have
to specify the storage path and file name for the project. Project files
are by default stored with the file extensions *.cp (or *.cp.au-
tosave if it is saved via the autosave function, see “CLIPSTER Config-
urations” user guide for more details). Furthermore, during the saving
procedure the old project file is saved as an additional backup file with
the file extension *.backup.cp.
If a file name is already assigned to the currently opened project, this
menu option will immediately save the project under the assigned
name.
In the project file the bin and the clips of the timeline including all op-
erators will be saved. Additionally, a lot of settings will be saved within
the project file as well, for example, the viewing settings of the software
modules, the timeline and the control area, the output settings as well
as the project related configuration settings made in the Configuration
Tool of the DVS software.
File extensions: *.cp Project file
*.cp.autosave Automatically saved intermedi-
ate situation
*.backup.cp Backup file of old project file
The VTR task mode of the I/O Tool that is optionally available
uses project files different from the ones usually saved via the
DVS software. Further information about this can be found in
the “CLIPSTER I/O Tool” user guide.
