CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
This section explains all features provided by the bin of the DVS soft-
ware in detail.
4.2.1 Configuring the Bin
With the bin you can perform a clip and project management: You can
structure the clips by sorting them to different folders and you can pre-
view the clips as well as access additional information via their text dis-
play in the bin. To serve all these functions at once, you can change and
configure the layout of the bin freely:
– The areas of the bin can be arranged horizontally or vertically.
– The appearance of clips in the contents area can be changed.
Both procedures are explained in this section.
Changing the Layout of the Bin
To provide, for example, for a better view on the material in the bin, the
areas of the bin, the folder and the contents area, can be arranged hor-
izontally or vertically via the title bar of the folder area. For this do the
following:
y Call up the context menu of the bin’s title bar (usually with a right-
click of the mouse).
contents area In the contents area you can see the video or audio
material already added to the bin and sorted into
the folders via their thumbnails or text information.
If the thumbnail view is activated, a scrub bar to
preview your material in still images and to set
roughly the inpoint of the respective clip is provid-
ed by a clip once it is selected. You can administer
the clips directly or add new clips to the bin with
the help of the context menu of the contents area.
Via the context menu of a clip you can also create
a proxy from it in case its video format exceeds the
real-time capability of CLIPSTER.
view buttons Via the view buttons of the bin you can select
whether the clips in the contents area shall be seen
as thumbnails with text or with their text informa-
tion only.
