Creating an Adjustment Segment

To create an adjustment segment, use marks to select the timeline area for

the segment and then use splice or overwrite with no library material

selected :

Set a Mark In mark

Set a Mark Out mark

Press SHIFT + v (splice) or SHIFT + b (overwrite)

Segment Status Colours

Various colour codes are used to identify the cache and render status of

timeline segments.

The colours shown below are the defaults. They can be changed by

editing the preference file colour.prefs in the folder :

C:\Phoenix\2014_1\root

Cached and Rendered

We mention two types of frames below : cached frames and rendered

frames.

Cached

A cache (also known as source cache) is a source sequence that has

been cached to our internal format (currently DPX except for float/half

float sources). It may be a full size clone (e.g. 1:1 Source Clone, or from

R3D, Quicktime or MXF) or a source proxy at 2:1, 3:1 etc.

These caches have no effects applied.

Rendered

A rendered cache is a sequence that has one or more effects applied

and has to be rendered.
