Any element in a timeline is always associated to a clip in the IPDirector
database:
• When a clip is added to a timeline with its initial IN and OUT points, the element
points to the initial element.
• When a clip is added to a timeline with different IN and OUT points than the
initial ones, no new clip is created for the element in the timeline. The element
still points to the initial clip.
• When a part of a record train is added to a timeline, a new clip is automatically
created with the guardbands defined in the Default Clip Duration setting (Clip
Creation tab). The aim is to identify and protect the media added to the
timeline.
When an element is edited in a timeline, the A/V material of the corresponding clip
is or can be made available:
• The A/V material between the IN and OUT guardbands of the clip always
remains available.
• The record train on which the clip is based is made available if the A/V material
around the clip TC IN and OUT is still available on the local or on a distant
XT[2] server.
