The Tool Area
On the left side of the user interface directly below the menu bar you
can find the tool area. It shows you depending on the optional features
available or the currently activated software module as well as task
mode various tools that can be used during your work. The different
tools are provided as tabs to switch easily between them.
Figure 4-1: The tool area
When you activate one of the inactive tool tabs, the tool area will
change its appearance and the respective tool will be displayed in the
tool area. Among the tools you can find, for example, the bin which
provides initial access to the video material stored on your system, or
the performance monitor to assess the real-time operation of the DVS
system, for example, during a play-out of the timeline.
This chapter describes the features of the tool area as well as the default
tools available in the Edit Tool module in detail. These default tools may
also be available in the other software modules of the DVS software.
