4.2.6.5 Edit a Cine File
Many recorded cine files contain a lot of unnecessary information both before and after the actual
motion of interest. The cine editor Bar is used to edit unnecessary images from the beginning and the
end of the recorded cine file prior to saving the cine file to an external hard drive. Editing the cine file
will create smaller files, reduce file save times, and make cine file playbacks more interesting.

Zero represents the first image after the moment of trigger was detected by the camera
