EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 8 User's Manual - Manual (Page 116)

Track Selection Applied to the Timeline Element
General Principles
The track selection defined in the timeline is NOT taken into account when media is
dragged to the timeline. If IPEdit cannot determine the tracks to be added, all of them are
added to the timeline.
The channels in the audio tracks are added to the timeline in the same sequence as they
are defined in the source media. In other words, a1 in the source media will be matched to
a1 in the timeline, a2 in the source media to a2 in the timeline, etc.
Possible Cases
The principles applied to define which tracks will be added to the timeline are the
following:
If the media is dragged from … Then …
the Player pane the Player track selection is taken into account to
add tracks to the timeline.
the Browser pane all the tracks of the media are added to the timeline.
another IPDirector module all the tracks of the media are added to the timeline.
Automatic Audio Swap in Drag-and-Drop Actions
When you drag the media to the timeline, you can perform an automatic audio swap if you
force, for example, the G1 track to be placed on the G2 track position in the timeline. To do
this, position your mouse on the G2 track when you drop the media on the timeline.
See section "Overview of the Ways to Define Swaps and Mutes" on page 175 for more
information on the automatic audio swap.
Position Applied to the Timeline Element
Principle
You always need to define an IN and OUT points in the media to be dragged since it is
added to the timeline from its IN to its OUT point. This is not applicable when you drag
media from the Player since the 3-point Edit is possible.
In all cases, the IN point of the media dragged will be snapped to the insertion position.
To disable the snap effect, press CTRL during the drag-and-drop action. The media will be
dropped at the position where you will release the mouse.
