Minimum Clip Duration
The media you place in the timeline, or generate after editing actions, needs to have 3-
frame duration at least. However consecutive clips of less than 10 frames can lead to a
freeze during playout. In this case, it is recommended to consolidate the small clips into a
single clip using the Replace function.
For this reason, the user is warned as follows when consecutive clips of less than 10
frames are detected in the timeline:
• A red triangle is displayed on the timeline to indicate the presence of consecutive
small clips:
• The following warning message is displayed in the message bar:
Inserted Material Depending on Element Types
You can place a whole clip (XT clip, growing clip or protect media), as well as a portion of
a clip or record train.
• When you add a clip (with the initial IN and OUT points) or a portion of it (with mark IN
and mark OUT points) to the timeline, the guardbands and the non-selected portions
remain available in the timeline for further editing.
• When you add a portion of a record train to the timeline, a clip is automatically created
with the guardbands defined in the Clip Creation settings.
• When you add a growing clip without mark OUT, a popup message is displayed to
force the user to specify a duration for the timeline element, and consequently a mark
OUT:
◦ When you select the first option, the mark OUT is the current TC of the record
head of the growing clip.
