CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
After the import the EDL/cut list will be visible in the capture list table
and can be recorded or edited further. To process such a file with the
I/O Tool perform the following:
y If appropriate, activate the Batch record mode and switch to the
capture list table by selecting the tab Capture of the tool area.
y In the selection area of the I/O Tool make sure that the video for-
mat settings are set to the appropriate and correct video raster and
frame rate (see section “The Video Format” on page 5-4). Further-
more, the settings for the path, file format, saving type, and color
space range should be set correctly. These will then be applied to all
entries of the EDL or cut list. All other settings possible in the selec-
tion area will be determined by the EDL/cut list automatically as
soon as it is processed.
y Select from the menu of the button FILE on the tab Capture of the
tool area the respective menu entry necessary for your processing
(either Load EDL… or Load Cutlist…, see section “The Button
’File’” on page 5-34).
The selection of one of these menu options opens a standard dialog
window for a file selection.
y To import an EDL or cut list choose in the dialog window the desired
file and confirm your selection with the button OPEN.
y If required by the DVS software, specify further details about the
import in the additional windows displayed on the screen, such as
conversion options or a storage location (see section “The Button
’File’” on page 5-34).
Afterwards the EDL/cut list will be imported and translated into the
capture list format of the I/O Tool. You can now process the capture list
further, for example, by adjusting the entries as indicated in section
“Composing a Capture List in the Batch Record Mode” on page 5-54
or starting a record operation (see section “Recording a Batch” on
page 5-57).
Preparing a Capture List File Manually
The capture list that holds the different steps that the I/O Tool shall per-
form during a record procedure can be saved to a file and loaded again
in the I/O Tool (see section “The Tab ’Capture’” on page 5-33). During
the saving of a capture list file the I/O Tool writes the necessary data in
a specific format into a simple ASCII file. This file can then be altered
easily.
If you do not set the video raster and frame rate correctly,
the EDL/cut list may not be translated to the capture list
format properly. The correct frame rate is necessary to cal-
culate the exact in- and outpoints of the timeline elements.
