CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
The thumbnail above the scrub bar will show you the contents of the
clip in still images. Additionally, you can use the scrub bar cursor to se-
lect an inpoint for the respective clip. This will be useful when reviewing
the clip via the video overlay of the control area as indicated in section
“Reviewing with the Video Overlay” on page 3-10.
3.3.2 Reviewing with the Video Overlay
Any clip available in the bin can be reviewed easily with the help of the
video overlay or via a device connected at the outputs of the DVS sys-
tem such as a monitor. Because the video overlay normally shows what
will be present at the outputs of the system, this procedure is identical
to the one when you want to play out a single clip, for example, to
record it with another device. Please refer to section “How to Play Out
a Single Clip” on page 6-12 for further information about this.
3.3.3 Selecting a Starting Point for the Clip
If desired, you can select a starting point for the clip to be played out
and reviewed in the video overlay. For this use the scrub bar below the
thumbnails in the contents area of the bin.
y If not already selected, select the clip from the bin that you want to
choose a starting point from with a click of the mouse.
This will make the scrub bar of the thumbnail available.
y Move the scrub bar cursor of the thumbnail to the left or right to
select the starting point of the clip.
Figure 3-6: Starting point selection
The thumbnail above the scrub bar will show you the selected frame in
a still image. This is the position where the clip will start.
y Then drag and drop the clip to the control area of the I/O Tool.
