LAYER
The Player allows editors to load and browse existing media, i.e. clips, record
trains or logs, as well as create new clips based on the loaded media.
The editors can also directly include the media loaded and selected on the Player
into the Timeline. To do this, the editors first need to select the insertion mode
(Insert or Overwrite), insertion position and the tracks to include in the Timeline.
1.4.3 B
ROWSER
The Browser pane allows users to perform the following actions:
• Searching for media referenced in the IPDirector Database, just as a normal
Database Explorer. Several search methods are available, as well as the use of
saved filters.
• Adding the selected clip to the timeline. This is only possible if the clip includes
a hi-res clip element on an XT[2] server.
Compared to the Database Explorer, the Browser pane has a filter tool specific to
the timeline, which is called “Multi camera time code filtering”. It is explained in
this manual. However, the Browser does not have the Auto-Play, Assign and Print
mode.
