CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
one of their in- and outpoint has to be trimmed, either the outpoint of
clip B or the inpoint of clip A. To demonstrate how to add a transition
between the two clips, we now want to change the outpoint of clip B
in the timeline:
y Select the end of clip B (first clip in timeline) and move it to the left
to trim its outpoint (tail).
Figure 3-9: Changing of outpoint
As long as the insert mode of the Edit Tool is active, clip A will automat-
ically adjust its position on the timeline respectively.
While trimming the outpoint you will notice a blue line above the se-
lected clip:
Figure 3-10: Display of original length of clip
This line shows the original length of the clip. You can use it to deter-
mine easily how much tail is available to, for example, create a transi-
tion.
y Once sufficient tail is available, release the outpoint handler and
drop it.
