6.5. Placing Media in the Timeline
6.5.1. Applicable Principles
Introduction
The following principles are applicable when you want to place media in the timeline.
Minimum Clip Duration
The media you place in the timeline, or generate after editing actions, needs to have 3-
frame duration at least. However consecutive clips of less than 10 frames can lead to a
freeze during playout. In this case, it is recommended to consolidate the small clips into a
single clip using the Replace function.
For this reason, the user is warned as follows when consecutive clips of less than 10
frames are detected in the timeline:
• A red triangle is displayed on the timeline to indicate the presence of consecutive
small clips:
• The following warning message is displayed in the message bar:
Inserted Material Depending on Element Types
You can place a whole clip (XT clip, growing clip or protect media), as well as a portion of
a clip or record train.
• When you add a clip (with the initial IN and OUT points) or a portion of it (with mark IN
and mark OUT points) to the timeline, the guardbands and the non-selected portions
remain available in the timeline for further editing.
• When you add a portion of a record train to the timeline, a clip is automatically created
with the guardbands defined in the Clip Creation settings.
