In other words, slipping a timeline element moves its IN and OUT points to another frame
in the A/V material still available. The IN and OUT points will be moved simultaneously by
the same number of frames in the same direction.
Note
All slip actions are possible on timeline elements whose playout speed has been
modified.
Limits
The A/V material still available on the server, i.e. the source media or the record train, will
determine the limits of a slip action:
•
If the record train of the source media is still available around the source media, the
record train will be loaded and the user can perform the slipping action on the loaded
record train.
•
If only the source media is still available, the source media will be loaded and the user
can perform the slipping action up on the available guardbands.
Methods
Two methods are available in IPEdit to perform a slip:
•
Slipping the element by dragging it once it is selected.
Use this method if you do not know precisely the new mark IN and OUT points you
want to define.
•
Slipping the element by setting a new timecode.
Use this method if you know precisely the new mark IN and OUT points you want to
define.
Example
In the following example, the first method mentioned above is used. In the example, the
TC IN and TC OUT of the elements are specified on the element block.
Element Selected for Slipping Action
The initial elements of a source clip ADL_CLP_1-00 are present in the timeline.
Their TC IN is 11:27:27:06. Their TC OUT is 11:27:28:09.
All elements of the same source clip are selected for the slip action:
