A
source-edit mode where you can select the in- and outpoint of the clip
frame accurately before adding it to the timeline (see section “The
Source-Edit Mode” on page 5-14).
Changing the Properties of Clips
In the bin you can call up the properties of clips. Then you can, for ex-
ample, assign flags to clips or change their properties, such as their
names or video formats. Use the opening window to change the clip’s
properties if the DVS software does not recognize its video or audio for-
mat correctly:
y Call up the context menu on a clip present in the contents area of
the bin and select the menu option Properties.
This will open the ’Clip properties’ window where you can change the
clip’s properties.
The description of the ’Clip properties’ window is not part of this user
guide. It is in detail described in the “CLIPSTER Configurations” user
guide.
Deleting Clips
To delete a clip from the contents area of the bin perform the following:
y Call up the context menu on the clip that you want to delete in the
contents area of the bin and select the menu option Delete.
After this a warning message will appear on the screen.
y If you want to delete the clip from the bin as well as all its represen-
tations present in the timeline, confirm the warning message.
This will delete the selected clip (either video or audio) from the con-
tents area of the bin. If the clip was already added to the timeline, its
representations there will be deleted as well.
Some clip properties can only be altered if the clip is not already
present in the timeline. Furthermore, the properties of audio
multi-clips can only be changed by individually altering the
properties of each audio clip in the provided bin subfolder of
the audio multi-clip.
The window of the clip properties can also be opened from a
clip added to the timeline (see section “The Context Menu of
Video Clips” on page 6-61).
Alternatively you may also select the clip and press the key
[Del] on your keyboard.
