Introduction
A pre-roll of minimum 1 second can be defined, for example, to allow the user to
listen to the content of the timeline before starting its voice-over.
A post-roll of minimum 2 seconds is defined to allow the Replace process to be
finalized and the replaced part to be made available in the timeline.
In a replace process, the timeline will be played including the pre-roll and post-roll
but only the part of the timeline between the mark IN and the mark OUT will be
replaced in the timeline.
Default Values
You can define default values for the pre-roll and post-roll duration in the Replace
settings, available in the Tools > Settings menu, Timeline tab, Replace group
box.
How to Define a Pre-Roll and Post-Roll
To define a pre-roll and post-roll other than the default values, proceed as follows:
1. Right-click anywhere in the timeline and select Replace Settings.
The Replace Settings window opens.
2. In the Pre-Roll group box, click the Pre-Roll Duration field once to activate
the field.
3. Do one of the following:
• Type the whole pre-roll duration with the zeros that should precede the
actual value.
• Click again at the exact position and type directly the value for the pre-
roll duration leaving the zeros on the left.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you need to specify a post-roll duration other than 2
seconds.
5. Click Apply to change the Replace settings.
