Editing assets in sequence

Editing assets in sequence

Double-clicking on an asset in the timeline or selecting the “Edit” option from the menu that opens by right-clicking on an asset in the timeline will open a window for shortening the asset.

1. Indicator of the file in use

Buttons to select the version of the asset currently in use. The default version is a proxy file for faster access. In case the proxy is not created or is not available for some reason, the ONLINE (original) connection will be started automatically. Changing the version is also possible by clicking on the desired version.

2. Name of the asset

3. Preview window

A window where you can view the selected asset.

4. Graphic display of asset position – Head

A graphical representation of the position of the asset currently marked for viewing and trimming. By dragging the wheel (head) you can rewind the assets.

5. Timeline size display

6. Trimming line

The line that indicates the graphic representation of the duration of the asset and on which trimming is done. By moving the position of the red brackets (“”[” and “]”), we set the beginning and end of the part we want to use. Above the line, numbers are marked every few minutes of asset duration for easier orientation.

7. Controls

a) Buttons for setting IN and OUT points.

Just as it is possible to specify the start and end (IN and OUT) via the trimming line (4), it is also possible to do this via these buttons by scrolling the asset to the desired position and clicking on the button for IN or OUT.

b) Graphic display of the elapsed time of the asset that was played in the preview window and is being edited.

If we move the slider of the asset position (Head), the time of the current position of the slider will be displayed here.

c) Graphical representation of the total duration of the asset which is played in the preview window and which is being edited. When asset playback is paused, this button changes color from white to red.

d) Play button to play the selected asset in the preview window. When the asset is paused, the button will change color from gray to red.

e) Buttons for rewinding the selected asset 10 frames forward and backward.

f) Buttons for rewinding the selected asset 1 frame forward and backward.

g) Buttons for increasing and decreasing the size of the space for trimming assets.

 

8. Audio on/off

In case the asset has more than one audio channel, here you can choose which of the channels you hear.

9. Timecode

Choice of what type of times you can see. Original times or times related to the recording time (timecode).

10. IN time

If we set the IN POINT on the trimming line (4) by moving the bracket (“”[“), the IN POINT position of the asset will be displayed in this field (time relative to the original asset).

11. DUR time

If we marked the IN and OUT POINT for trimming, this field will show the total duration of the trimmed asset.

12. OUT time

If we set the OUT POINT on the trimming line (4) by moving the bracket (“]”), the OUT POINT position of the asset will be displayed in this field (time relative to the original asset).

13. Cancel and Set

Cancel – By clicking this button, we cancel the changes we made in the edit window.
Set – By clicking this button, we will save the changes we made in this window.
