You can also enter a particular position or duration in the entry fields to

the right. For an activation of an entry in these fields you may press [En-

ter] or click somewhere else in the user interface with the mouse. More

information about timecode/frame number fields and their format can

be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user guide.

The radio buttons in front of the items lock the selected setting. This

makes it possible, when configuring a second field, to let the last re-

maining item set itself in dependence on the locked value: Define and

lock one of the settings and specify a second one. After its confirmation

the last remaining field will adjust its setting automatically.

There is also the possibility to deactivate all radio buttons. For this sim-

be set according to a ’three entry’ rule: Once two items are set, the third

and remaining one will adjust itself automatically.
