Interpretation of the Diagrams and Examples
The upper diagram maps the chronology of the source clip (vertical axis and position bar to the
left) against the chronology of the destination clip (horizontal axis and position bar). In its initial
state when you call a clip that has not yet been edited, the following applies:
Source clip chronology = destination clip chronology.
The straight red line in the display represents this state: The mark-in and mark-out points of the
source and destination clips are identical with regard to timecodes. Each individual frame in the
source clip is mapped on the corresponding destination clip.
In order to understand all the Timewarp functions, it is important to know that “position” in the
spatial sense (as applied to a video tape) has nothing to do with the position bars. These bars deal
with time
.
The lower diagram indicates the speed (vertical) throughout the destination clip time axis (hori-
zontal). In the initial state, the straight red line runs horizontally at a height of 1.0 (100 percent),
i.e. in a constant positive play direction.
