Video editing
Timeline mode
All editing takes place in the arranger. All movies and scenes are represented in
accordance to their duration in the "Timeline mode": The longer the symbol is, the
longer is the scene represented by it.
Handles: All objects may be shortened by placing the mouse on one of the lower
object corners until the mouse cursor turns into a stretch symbol. You can now
squash the object as much as you like. At the top corners of every object you’ll find
two fade handles that can be adjusted to fade an object in or out. The handle at the
top center can be used to adjust the volume of audio objects and the transparency of
video objects.
Note: Video objects with a sound track will automatically be displayed on one track.

Individual objects can be selected with the mouse. Objects will change color to show
