A clip (or a portion of a clip between a mark IN and park OUT defined in the

player) can be dragged to the timeline between a defined mark IN and mark OUT
points. This feature is also called Fit to Fill or four-point edit.

In case the length of the clip differs from the length between the mark IN and mark
OUT points on the timeline, the clip can be inserted in several ways:

Drag and drop the clip between the mark IN and mark OUT points on the

timeline:

The IN point of the clip matches the mark IN on the timeline and the clip length

is modified.

Drag and drop the clip between the mark IN and mark OUT points on the

timeline with the CTRL key pressed:

The OUT point of the clip matches the mark OUT on the timeline and the clip
length is modified (from its IN point).

Drag and drop the clip between the mark IN and mark OUT points on the

timeline with the ALT key pressed:

The clip is placed between the marks on the timeline. The clip length equals
the length set in the player but the speed is calculated automatically and

depends on the duration between the timeline marks.

The Blank Fill mode is used to place clips on the timeline to fill in areas of the
timeline where there is no media present. Even when the clip is longer than the
blank to be filled, this mode ensures the next clip is not overwritten. This mode
will only work in combination with the Overwrite mode.

To activate the Blank Fill mode, click the

button. The button will turn

orange.
