Timeline Editing
INTRODUCTION
The timeline editing feature allows for video and audio inserts in a linear
way. The editing is based on an existing playlist converted into a
timeline.
The timeline mode synchronizes one video track and two audio tracks.
Each audio track is composed of one mono audio.
Two main functions are available in version 8.00.00 :
insert overwrite : operators can insert video or audio independently on
any of the tracks or on all tacks at the same time ;
extend overwrite : extend the duration of any clip on any track across the
entire duration of the timeline.
Undo and redo up to nine actions.
All insert operations are done in a linear manner: each insert or extend
operation will take out some existing material and replace it with a new
one. Because the process is destructive, undo and redo are available
during the edition of a timeline as long as the live (REC) button is not
used. When operators go live, the undo history is lost.
OPERATIONS
All timelines have to be created from an existing playlist. After the
transformation, the duration of the timeline can not be changed.
TRANSFORM A PLAYLIST INTO A TIMELINE
From the remote : select the playlist you want to convert and press an
empty playlist position. On the remote you get access to a menu to copy
playlists, in position B ‘CopyToTL’ appears : this is the copy to timeline
feature. Confirm the CopyToTL and the playlist is converted into a
timeline at the PL position you selected.
From the VGA : select the playlist you want to convert and press Ctrl+C
to copy it, then paste it into an empty playlist position using the Ctrl+T
keys (rather than Ctrl+V).
Timeline appear on the remote as ‘TL’ rather than ‘PL’ for playlists. On
the clip screen, they appear with a blue background (similar to the
protected clip identifier).
All audios tracks in the playlist are placed on the timeline in the following
manner : each timeline has two audio edit tracks containing each single
audio. Independently from the audio configuration, the first audio input is
edited on the first audio track, the second input on the second audio
track.
In the future, the parameter on page 3.4 (F2) will be used to set how
many audio mono tracks can be used for each edit track.
ENTERING THE TIMELINE EDIT MODE
When the current playlist is a timeline, pressing the ‘PLST’ button enters
