served to live title pages or supplied along with the file to the
Publish module.

TRIMMING CLIPS AND THE SCRUB BAR
Just beneath the
playlist
pane is a full-width
Scrub-Bar
(Figure 136). The width of the
scrub-bar
represents
the full run time of the current clip or other media file. Drag the knob to change time position.

In
and
Out Points
for newly added Media are automatically adjusted when necessary to accommodate motion
when transitions you add require it.
•
To reset the file to its full length, press the ‘g’ key.
•
To trim a clip manually, move the knob to the desired frame and press ‘i’ or ‘o’ on the keyboard (to
set the
In Point
or
Out Point
, respectively).
During playback, the
Scrub-Bar
knob traverses the span between the
In
and
Out Points
. The duration (taking
into account trimming operations) is displayed as a countdown in the upper of two timecode fields at left
(Figure 136). The lower time display shows embedded clip timecode.
