CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
of the Edit Tool and you can, for example, change the layout of the bin,
create folders, sort clips into folders, delete, add, or change clips, etc.
Captured clips are automatically added to the contents area of the bin
and you can review them via their thumbnails after a clip has been se-
lected, choose a preliminary inpoint for the respective clip and/or re-
view the clip in the video overlay of the control area.
During record the captured clips can be sorted directly into already
available folders of the bin which is an additional parameter that has to
be stated in the selection area of the respective record operation. Addi-
tionally, when multi-clips are generated via a record by the I/O Tool,
you will receive in the selected bin folder one thumbnail for the cap-
tured video and one or more for the captured audio material (depend-
ing on whether audio was captured in mono/stereo or multi-channel
files). Furthermore, one or more subfolders are created in the bin where
all the individually generated audio clips are filed. They can then be
used separately. Further information about the storing of (multi-)clips
can be found in section “The Captured Files” on page 5-12. The on-
line-conforming procedure (referencing to already available clips) may
create folders in the bin as well and the found clips may get sorted into
them.
When capturing clips and adding them thus to the contents area of the
bin, the I/O Tool provides you with one major advantage: Usually,
when adding a clip to the bin manually, for example, with the menu op-
tion Add Clip of the contents area’s context menu, its properties may
not be discerned by the software properly due to missing file header in-
formation. Contrary to that, the capturing of clips will set the properties
of the bin clips always correctly because they can be retrieved directly
from your settings and the video signal connected to the DVS system.
Then no manual configuration of the properties will be necessary for
these bin clips. Nevertheless, this advantage may be lost when the con-
tents of the bin is not saved. You can save the contents of the bin into
a project file (Project » Save As...) or you can export the contents, i.e.
all clips together with the folder structure, to a file (Bin » Export
Bin...).
The clips shown in the bin are only representations of the orig-
inal material on the storage. With this you can use the same
clip for different purposes while the original video data is al-
ways maintained.
Explanations of all the functions of the bin are not part of this
user guide. You can find detailed descriptions about the bin’s
functions and their usage in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user
guide.
Further information about how to add clips or save the con-
tents of the bin can be found in the “CLIPSTER Edit Tool” user
guide.
