Save Timeline As Template...
Use this option to save the current Timeline Tra c k s as a new Tem pla t e. In the box that appears,
enter a Templa te name. If you do not save the template in the Temp lat e folder or if you use a differ-
ent file extension, Pinnacle Liquid does not recognize it as a Tem pla te and does not display it in
the Te m pl ate list.
This function is useful for saving different templates for different tasks.
In contrast to Project Templates, Timeline Templates do not contain any clips or other
objects. They only contain settings regarding how the Timeline and the objects it contains
are displayed.
Save Timeline As Default Template
The Default Template is used for Sequences created with the New Sequence button or with Tem-
plate > Default > New Sequence (
page 10-56). Click Save Timeline As Default Template to define
the current Timeline as the Default Template.
Set Start Timecode
Use this function to enter an initial timecode for a Sequence on the Timeline. In the field that
appears enter a timecode value.
Consider how much leader you plan to leave before the Sequence. Set
Start-Timecode =
“Sequence start” minus “leader duration”. Example: Sequence start (10:00:00.00) minus leader
(00:01:30.00) = Start Timecode (09:58:30.00).
The timecode of the current Timeline is the master TC, because in non-linear editing the
Timeline is the master.
Therefore, the recording tape (or master tape) needs a compatible timecode. For exam-
ple: Your sequence starts at 10:00:00.00 hours, but the tape has been striped (coded)
